Reflection+On+An+Article

The article I read was about a concert held in Fort Lauderdale Florida this past weekend. The article appealed to me because I have been making moves in the music industry and have promoted, booked and held shows with a small company put together by friends of mine and myself. The concert referred to in the article was that of a band named Rebelution. Rebelution plays a reggae/underground genre of music that music listeners of all types could turn on and enjoy. The article makes many references to the demographics of the crowds attending the show. Many were young spring breakers whom the other could tell were not of drinking age. This shows how young people today are involved in activities that are more commonly done by older groups. The concert was completely packed and all of the tickets were sold out. The article states that inside the venue "people were packed like sardines in a crushed tin can". The amount of patrons inside probably added to the fun-factor of the show, good vibes and good music was in the air and everyone inside the building was there for the same reason; to have a great time. I tried making plans with a friend from Orlando this past weekend but he had prior engagements, the Rebelution concert. After reading this article I am now very jealous that I was not able to make it to the show and I now know what event I should make sure I can get to next year. The article was fun to read because the author wrote it very casually and easy to relate to.

This article is really good. It focuses on a reggae/underground band named Rebelution that played a show last week at Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. The venue that the band played at sold out of tickets by the end of the night. The people that were there were of drinking age including many high school kids that were on spring break. The place was so jammed packed that people were squeezing into any open spot that they could find. These fans were really set on getting in to see the band play. The article also shows how many high school kids that are already attending events that are intended for an older audience. I know the feeling of wanting to see my favorite band play live, but when I was in high school I knew not to go to places where it was suited for older audiences. I like this article because the author made you want to attend a Rebelution concert. I picked this picture because it goes with the theme of the article. ~ Samantha Gross
