When I first heard about Take 6, I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I thought it would be an a cappella group that only sang gospel music and that sort of thing. So, I looked the group up and was pretty impressed by their musical talent and the fact that they were reviewed by The New York Times. I was pretty excited to be able to go the concert and see what the group did live, and I was more than impressed again!
Take 6's stage presence and chemistry were wonderful, and it made a fantastic show for the audience. It was so great to hear such a variety of music genres, my favorite being jazz of course, and it showed the genuine musicianship of the singers. I was having a blast at the show, laughing at their jokes, clapping when they wanted us to clap, but I was fairly surprised with the lack of audience participation. Here was this exciting show where the audience was encouraged to participate in the fun and be part of the excitement, and hardly anyone would clap along or dance. There was an awkward part after one of their songs, I don’t remember the song but it was really entertaining, and the whole right side of the audience was standing and the middle part of the left side was sitting down. I felt bad for Take 6, because they were trying so hard to keep things alive in the ballroom.
Take 6 had great energy no matter what song they performed. I was most impressed with their ability to blend. It gave me chills a few times! It’s also great that they are not afraid to express their beliefs, which is very admirable. Not only was the concert exciting, but it was great to see the two a cappella groups from campus, TakeNote and Intersection perform before and TakeNote after the concert as well. The performances definitely made people pumped to see Take 6! Overall, the concert had a cool and classy vibe and I was more than happy I decided to attend.
