Black Room Performance (Concert)

At 8:00 p.m. on September 30, 2014 I went to the black room to watch Josh Phipps, a member on the cross-country team and his band perform. I attended the event with Lia Kruse, Jordie File, and some other cross-country teammates. 

Josh Phipps and his band performed in the Black Room on a Tuesday night after classes. The environment was really fun and relaxed. It was completely dark, except for the bright spotlight that pointed on the stage. I didn't really know what to expect, I had never listened to Josh or his band perform before. Once I entered the Black Room, It was to my surprise that Phipps was the lead singer. I had known Phipps for two months prior to the event and never would have guessed that he could sing that well. He is a really gifted singer and an amazing performer. However, I only knew Phipps as a runner and only saw the cross-country side of him. His amazing voice and ability to perform on stage, made me realize how we might think we know someone but in actuality we do not. I am really glad I went to this event because I got to see a whole other side of one of my teammates that night. I definitely plan to go back to the Black Room for another performance sometime.
