At the beginning of the night the audience took photos, chatted, and ordered drinks while waiting for the first band known as Colony House to start performing. When Colony House walked onstage the crowd, of course, applauded and cheered loudly. Colony House’s performance did not disappoint. Every member of the band danced around the stage with so much energy. Colony House warmed up the audience perfectly for the other outstanding performances later that night. The next band that took the stage was Drew Holcomb. Drew Holcomb did a fantastic job at keeping the audience’s excitement going after Colony House’s performance. With two bands down and two to go the audience was still dancing and having the time of their lives. The next band known as Switchfoot generated a larger audience. Even the photographers started to pile in to take photos during this performance. Not surprisingly, Switchfoot put on a fantastic performance that generated a feeling of positivity in the audience. Their performance actually contained the highlight of the night—By the end of the performance, as Switchfoot said goodbye, the ENTIRE audience gave them a standing ovation. NEEDTOBREATHE was the last band to perform and also delivered an unforgettable performance with their excellent outfits, dance moves, and songs. This band looked like they really enjoyed being on stage and connecting with the audience, which influenced the way the audience excitedly reacted to their performance. As the last performance of the show, NEEDTOBREATHE was the perfect way to end the night with a bang.
During Switchfoot’s performance singer/guitarist Jon Foreman said, “There is no stage. There is no we. There is no they. This is our night”. The music performed by Colony House, Drew Holcomb, Switchfoot, and NEEDTOBREATHE brought various people together so that there was no longer any stage, they, or we. There was only a group of people in one place connecting through a love for music. That is what good music is about. That is why the Tour de Compadres concert was worth every penny. Colony House, Drew Holcomb, Switchfoot, and NEEDTOBREATHE put on amazing performances, which is evident because of the standing ovation and overall happiness of the audience.
