Skillet Music Band

So for my internship at Kiss FM I was asked if I wanted to work a concert being held at my college. Skillet would be headlining at UW Oshkosh. The Kolf Arena would be filled with 4,200 fans on March 4, 2011 all anticipating the Christian hard rock band. For me I had never heard of Skillet and I did not know what the buzz was all about at my college. The day of the concert I helped other staff members at Kiss hand out stickers and play games with the crowed. It was a standing room only even so the students did not want to lose their spot near the stage. After we got done handing things out fellow intern Amy and I went to meet the band. I wish I could of traded places with my friends who really loved the band and would of done anything to meet them. I did however get them autographs. The band was very cool, young, and hip. These are all hard things to have when your trying to get the message of Christianity out to young people. I did not get to see the whole concert, but the half I did see was amazing. They had so much energy when they entered the stage. Now I wish I would of gotten and interview with them for my college radio station. I now own a Skillet CD and have read up on it quit a bit.
