R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"
Week of February 3rd, 2012
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Week in WRAP
This past Friday night, Noah and I had planned to start the evening by going to Panera bread to work on updating our website and a few other house cleaning tasks. As we were about to leave for Panera, we received a call from Bill and his grandson Brandon (Two close friends that we met at the Christian Center last spring). They asked us if we were going to the Christian Center to play. At first, we had thought about going to play at the Christian Center after Panera, but we have not seen Brandon in over 7 months! With that in mind, we cancelled our plans for Panera and headed toward the Christian Center, full steam ahead!
Upon arrival at the Christian Center, we learned that the Camp of Champions were there that night, which meant the place would be packed! The Camp of Champions is a Christian group of around 50 kids who go to the Christian Center on Friday nights once a month. Noah and I arrived before Bill and Brandon, so we went ahead and started playing. God blessed us last year with the privilege to meet Bill and Brandon at the Christian Center, and we have kept in contact with them over this past year. When they arrived, we played a few tunes for them, and then Brandon showed us his T-Shirt design for R Squared. In fact, he drew up a few designs for us that we hope to incorporate into our future T-Shirt. How AMAZING would it be to have t-shirts designed by one of our closest friends that we met through R Squared!
As the night progressed, we continued playing tunes, but kept a close eye on the birthday party in the party room. One of R Squared's favorite things to do is make surprise appearances at birthday parties. We call these little events saxograms! :) When they were lighting the candles for the birthday cake, we quickly made way toward the party room. Noah asked if we could play happy birthday for them, and they were ecstatic. We grabbed happy birthday, our music stand, and rocked out. As we played happy birthday, all 19 people sang along! After happy birthday, I played one of R Squared's favorites, Oh Susana, then Noah and I played a few of our favorite tunes for them. Before the night was over, we had a picture taken with this group and gave them our business cards. They thanked us with two, absolutely delicious cupcakes! I need to add, this was record breaking for R Squared because this is the largest birthday party that we have played for to date. Check out the attached picture of us with this awesome, energetic group!
After the party, we continued playing in the bowling alley as Camp of Champions kids came up surrounded us. They were singing and clapping along while we played, in fact, I believe this was the largest group of kids that we have had sing along with us at the Christian Center! After playing for about two hours, we packed up and headed for Culver's on University with Bill and Brandon. This was our first time going out to eat with Bill and Brandon after a performance, and we enjoyed this time of fellowship that God provided us. This was only our 2ND performance of the year, and God is already doing AMAZING things in our lives, ministry, and the people around us.
