Day 50 - A Concert You Attended
ROCKAPELLA
Brittany and I had the privilege to attend the Rockapella concert on Sunday night at Wartburg College in Waverly. I believe this was my fourth time seeing them in action and I have to say, they still know how to kick it.
Rockapella is a well-known acapella group that has been around for the last 20 to 30 years. One might recognize a few of their tunes from old commercials (Coca-Cola, Folgers, etc.). Then there was their ever famous "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" theme song that they sang for the hit PBS show back in the early nineties.
In high school, there were several of us guys that really got into Rockapella. We would listen to their music, perform some of their numbers during swing choir shows, and enthusiastically attend their concerts when they came to Iowa.
So, back to Sunday night. The show was incredible. I hadn't been to a live concert in quite sometime and it was nice just to kick back and listen. The group really put on a show as they made people smile and laugh, in addition to bringing the goosebumps. If you haven't seen Rockapella before, and you get the opportunity to do so, I encourage you to check them out. Below are a couple of my favorite songs from them (and it's important to note that the group is entirely vocal. There are absolutely no instruments). Enjoy!
