For my second cultural event, I went to the Moving On concert next to Beaver Stadium. I had been looking forward to this concert for awhile and was one of those people who could be seen walking over to beaver stadium around 4 even though Ludacris wasn't set to open until 8.
At first I was a little skeptical because I wasn't sure why Ludacris, such a big name artist, would be opening for someone else. If he had wanted to come to Penn State, why wouldn't he insist upon being the main act? If the reasoning was to get as many people out there to begin with so they would stay for the rest of the concert, it worked.I told myself that I was going to see Ludacris but ended up staying until late at night and I had a great time listening to artists that I had never heard of. My favorite part of concerts is feeling the energy of everyone out there. As soon as Ludacris stepped onto the stage, the level of excitement could be felt in the air. Though there was so much to begin with, somehow Ludacris was able to maintain this level of excitement throughout his entire act.
One the craziest parts of the concert was when this artist, Little Fate?, I think he was called stepped onto the stage to perform. The majority of the people had no idea who he was and there were some shouts of "Who are you?" that could be heard across the field only ending after calls back of "Who are you?" and "Shut the ......"
Apart from all of the carnival types of food that I hadn't had in awhile, I got a new sense of music from this concert. There were people there that I hadn't even heard. These artists were able to create new twists on music that I found interesting and will be sure to explore.
