Trans-Siberian Orchestra

I have wanted to see TSO for a couple of years now. I remember trying to call into radio stations when they had free ticket giveaways. I was number 14 out of the 15th caller they wanted. It is a good think I didn't win back then, I probably wouldn't have appreciated the show as I did now.
When I seen the advertisement that TSO was going to be in Madison, I looked up the tickets and was let down. The price of the tickets were just going to be too much for all of us to go. I couldn't go without the girls or Mike, so I let it drop, disappointed. Well I just couldn't let it go, so I kept on looking online and trying different searches for seat prices, I finally came to one that was a lot more affordable. It was up in the upper mezzanine, or as my husband calls it, nose bleed area, but I didn't care. I am going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra! 
 I wasn't sure what to expect. I certainly did not expect what we seen. Sure, I seen pictures, but they tell nothing. And I must say that I am very happy with my camera, even after over 3000 pictures. Yep, you read that right, 3000. How, you may ask, did I get 3000 pictures. Well, quite simply really, a feature on the camera called multi-shot. There was so much going on that I thought that this would be the best route, and I was right. Got some cool pics.
For being as high up as we were, I was able to zoom in fairly well with my camera.

We felt the pyrotechnics in our nosebleed seats. The building structure almost looked like a big TV screen, it kept on changing. There was one time there was a dragon that was moving around the castle. The musicians, dancers were on lifting structures, and one of those structures was right in front of us.

All in all, it was one of the most exciting thing that I have ever seen and I was so glad that I took that initiative to go. Who knows, maybe I will be able to go again. But I think next year I will try to see The Nutcracker.
