Tuxes and Electric Guitars?

On Friday night my best friend calls me up and says that she is coming up because her sister got her tickets to see the Tran-Siberian Orchestra. She had an extra ticket if I wanted to go. Sure, why not?
Last night I met up with my friend, her sister, and her brother. Her sister works at a radio station and was announcing that for each ticket purchased a dollar was donated to the children's hospital. We went back stage with her, but when we were told that we couldn't see her present, we went to our seats to watch the show like everyone else.
It was a good time. The TSO is not like a normal orchestra. They have crazy lighting, fire, and even some fireworks! It was cool. The first half of the show was a Christmas story and then second half was their most popular songs.
These guys are in AMAZING shape! They would run full out across the stage to play and then run across it the other way to play again. Even the singers were doing that, but they were singing while they were running! It was awesome!
We admit that we were all a little blinded by the end as the lights kept flashing up into the higher seats where we were. Yet, all in all it was a great time (well, it helped that it was all free!).
