TobyMac!

A week ago Sunday, I worked my final event of 2014...a TobyMac concert! Usually the concerts we work are held at a church in Fort Wayne {there are two churches that alternate hosting the concerts} or at the Coliseum, but this was my first time to work an event at the Scottish Rite Auditorium. It's a BEAUTIFUL old theater with tons of charm.

This was actually the last night of his tour, which he shared with Matt Maher and Ryan Stevenson. We got all set up and then a few of us got to actually go backstage and meet TobyMac. {I was sad that we didn't have enough passes for Ryan to go.} We congregated in a ballroom, and it was crazy hot in there. I was a bit fearful my entire face might be sliding right off as I met him, but alas, I looked normal in the picture!
Ron, Larry and I went backstage at the start of the concert and got to meet Ryan Stevenson, who was waiting to open the concert.
My dear, wonderful husband gained approximately a million bonus points by choosing, of his own accord, to take the camera and have a photo shoot while we were emceeing!
And this one...of my fling ring form. I'm improving, y'all!!!
I feel this is the closest I'll ever see to figure skating form. Ha!!!!

Ryan Stevenson was up first...we play his song Holding Nothing Back, and I really enjoyed the chance to hear him live! He was so nice when we met him backstage - a humble, down-to-earth guy!
After Ryan, Matt Maher sang for a while. He's one of Ryan's favorites!


And then...time for TobyMac!!




It was a great night, and the sold-out crowd was THRILLED to participate! I loved the evening and was thankful Ryan could go with me and be part of the evening!

Kyle & I love Matt Maher. We used a couple of his songs in our wedding. We've seen him at least once a year since we've been married, but we did not attend this concert.

Jaime - Oh!! What songs did you use? I think the only other time I have seen him in concert was the year he was part of Winter Jam. I think this was my first time to see him in regular concert.

Polly - THANK YOU!!! :) I do love some good form. Merry Christmas to YOU!!!!!
