We've sold over 550 tickets in advance for Air Raid 18! Only one other Air Raid sold more and that was "17" featuring Group 1 Crew. It sold out in advance.Man, Air Raids have come a LONG way!
The first three Air Raids happened before LIFE 100.3 was on the air. In fact, the first Air Raid was named "Youth Concert". Nice title. Catchy. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. As I recall, there was crowd surfing going on at the show and a couple of pastors ragged on me for letting the show become too worldly. I see. How come the kid doing the crowd surfing was a pastor's kid? Ahem.
Each Air Raid features a Canadian band - sometimes local to Barrie, or an artist we've discovered playing a church in Ontario.
The opening act at Air Raid 18 is Hearts In Stereo. These guys are from Ottawa and their song "Alive" is playing on LIFE 100.3 all the time. When they play at Air Raid, they'll be opening for Manafest and Superchick. Nice exposure!
Since LIFE went on the air, I've hoped that Newsboys would headline an Air Raid. Will it happen?
See you Saturday at Timothy Christian School.
A I R R A I D 1 8 ! ! !
We were up in Muskoka this weekend and heard a commercial for the show. Lots of great Air Raid memories - Sonya was asking me which number(s) we played.. I think maybe Air Raid 7 or 8? Not sure. Regardless, they were always tons of fun.
