Last night’s Remix was hot! I mean literally, the AC didn’t work too well. But it was hot too! We played somewhere around 16 songs (and only messed up on one). We had about 30 people show up in the Wesley small chapel (and hopefully none at the Union amphitheater where we originally told them to go), and rocked their socks off.
I have a new favorite song by our band: More Love, More Power. We made that song come alive last night. I forgot how to play the bass line, so I made up some weirdness. And it sounded good! Scottie B did his thing on his electric all night. He’s got some talent, let me tell you.
But the best thing about last night was to look out every now and then (I go into my own little world when I play bass, not something I do when I play piano or guitar) and see people worshiping. You have to understand, I do this every week of the school year. I am always up front during the Nav worship. I can always see what people are doing. And usually it’s the same old story: they’ll be singing, with their hands in their pockets, looking around at other people, or the band, or the ceiling, or their nails, or whatever. It becomes ritualistic for a lot of people. Something that we do before announcements and Dave’s talk. But last night, when the focus was on worship through song, you saw people get down on their knees and worship. Maybe it was the change in location. Being in the dorm where someone could see you might be intimidating for a lot of people. Being in a chapel might have been just what we needed.
Now I’m finally excited about Rez Week. I’ve been excited in theory for a while now. But now my heart is excited. This was just a taste of what that whole week will be like.
