Tomorrow I'm going to start a short series on preaching ("Mark Antony style") but today I've got to tell you...
This morning our drum shield attacked our drummer. A few years ago we started using a drum shield (which I personally hate) and this morning during the opening song I noticed it was wobbling, and I thought, "Uh oh," but I was too far away to do anything. It was almost like slow motion, it wobled, wobled, and then fell - right into the drum kit and right on top of our drummer, Brandon. Some of the band continued to playing, some didn't. Brandon struggled to breathe. Several guys ran over to try and save him and suddenly it felt like I was watching "Deadliest Catch." After a minute they had righted the shield, Brandon hastily reconstructed his drum set, and then started playing again (it was still the same song). The place went wild.
It felt like a scene right out of "This is Spinal Tap" (which, by the way, is my 6th favorite movie). Next week our drummer will spontaneously combust (leaving a small green "globule" on his drum throne).
All I know is ... it wasn't what I would call "excellence" but I would totally come back to a church where the drummer gets attacked by his drum shield!

honestly the whole reason I ever bothered to check out forefront was because you said in the radio back in the day that Sunday mornings were kind of raw and I thought how nice it would be to be in a laid back enviroment where everything didn't have to be perfect and focus was on Christ and not a light show or how everyone was dressed so the drum shield mishap and the microphone malfunction when you came up were welcome bits of rawness
That was the coolest thing I've ever seen and he kept playing. How cool was that.
It might be fun to hear the rest of your movie list sometime Vince - Oddly enough "Ghost and the Darkness" and Shawshank Redemption are in my top ten... Lions and prison are my thing - lol
Yeah top ten movies! whoot whoot Shawshank is in there along with Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, Tombstone, Caddyshack for nostalgia purposes, Cheeseballs like Spaceballs and Army of Darkness, and of course instant classic High school musical and a smathering of Tom Cruise of course!! Did those last ones cause anyone else to cringe/shiver in their seat? Oh and Vince, your blog completes me
The rock n roll must go on, baby!
