We wanted to come out to a huge opening song. About 45 seconds into the song is a part where there is this big gang vocal part. It kind of builds, builds, builds opens up and there is huge gang vocals. Our lighting guy Josh lights up the whole crowd and you can see everyone singing along and I love looking at this part and seeing kids faces as they are screaming and their fists are pumping in the air. It is like one of my favorite parts of the song in set. It's a minute into the hour and fifteen minute set list.
