one of the most exhilerating experiences of my life is being on stage. a few months ago was my first time on stage. the day before thanksgiving break my high school always puts on this variety show. it's usually just a bunch of bands and 1 or 2 skits about Jesus put on by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. fun. anyhow, we had to go up after a band that played that creed song "with arms wide open". then it came time for me and the rest of our little thrown-together band to walk on stage. the band behind me started in on "bulls on parade" and 30 seconds or so in i exploded on the microphone. no matter how badly we did the reaction on everyone's face was priceless. there wasn't a seated person. what a rush.

just thought it'd share that.
