Buckhead Church Rock Band Opener

Posted on 10. Mar, 2008 by loswhit in Creativity

So per last weeks Creative Chaos entry, we did the Rock Band opener at church this Sunday.
After fine tuning things for the 11, sorry 9 but it happens, I think we landed well at the 11.
Billy Phenix hosted the service and came out explaining how we are in a series where Andy and Clay are talking about our desires to be great.
He explained the game of Rock Band and how, on some levels, it creates that feeling of greatness for the players.
We started the song and over the intro Billy introduced the band, noting the form of the game, that the players are playing toy instuments, and that Heath from FEE is singing.
Then we went right into it.
You only get the board feed in this audio but the crowd was really into it.
Billy then came out and wrapped the game up with another small explanation for the few hundred people who came in during the song…
Here you go.

And yes, we had Kaye, a chick drummer.

    *breaks out his zippo

    I love that song. Surely you guys cranked it to 11 and broke the knob off?

    Ah good good memories.

    Man, I wanted so bad to get down to Buckhead for that! But, the video was just as good as being there in person!

    Thanks Carlos!

    How cool is that?!?!?! We bought this game for our family a few weeks ago and that’s our fave song to do. With six kids, we’re hoping for the next “Partridge Family.” ROFL Seriously gotta talk to my pastor about doing something like this. FUN!
