HAHAHA ok..i'll give you the hands on run thru.
SOOOO it was a long..but really exciting day!(i'm sad there were not MS members there..)
ANYWAYS, we arrived at the Paramus Park Mall around 12:00 ish for our soundcheck...basic soundcheck-ness we ran thru most of the songs..checked volumes..that lasted about 30-45 mins.
After soundcheck, we hung out and took pictures with some fans who arrived at the mall around 9AM(the opening) ..basically fans who voted for us in the contest! SOme of those fans were 3 kids who traveled all the way from Montreal to see us!! We ended up eating lunch with the montreal fans! They were all just really cool down to earth people. We had a blast.
Then around 3ish we wnet "backstage" to change and just relax a bit before the show. we did some vocal warmups and like drank water. lol
At 4PM our opener, Rachel Dansky went on. She had a 25-30 min set.
THEN IT WAS OUR TURN. we were actually kinda nervous that people weren't going to be there and that we would be performing to an empty crowd but it turned out that there was actually a really good turnout. I would say easily 200 people came there to see us...and then there were regular mall folk who stopped to listen.
(The way the mall is set up is there is this main entrance..basically where we played. And there is a fountain in the middle of that area. Then on the floor above it is the food court area. The entire food court was filled with people looking over the balcony watching our show.)
We did our set list (you can see what we played up there) and one of our friends(who is also kinda youtube famous, Steph(stephulahoops) did a special encore of "Billionaire" with us.
After the show we had an hour to take pictures/sign autographs but we ended up going over the 1 hr limit..it was about 2 hrs by time we got to meet with everyone!(in the pictures you can kinda see the line..it snaked thru the entire plaza area of the mall!)
But seriously, it was so amazing! It was so much fun!
idk if that made sense. ahhh!
