How much would you pay?

Today, we ordered 2nd Wave shirts.  Though we won’t have them in time for Saturday’s gig, we will be taking pre-orders, so please give us a shout if you want one.

 

Speaking of which, 2nd Wave will be playing at 1pm this Saturday at Forsyth County’s Christmas in Central Park.

 

Then, on Dec. 4th, we’re throwing a Second Wave Christmas block party in Cumming called Christmas in the Cul-de-sac, the sequel to last year’s Concert in the Cul-de-sac.  We plan to have hot cocoa, hot dogs, and such.  There are also rumors of an opening band containing Second Wave parents.  More info forthcoming.

 

So, how should we price these shirts?  How much would you pay?

 

 

R.U.N.

It was an honor for Second Wave to be asked recently to appear in a music video with our friend Ashley Appling as part of the 252 Basics children’s curriculum.  From the 252 Basics website: 252Basics is a unique approach to curriculum for churches and Christian schools. It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52.

 

(Please forgive the fact that the audio and video don’t quite match up; I’m working on it.)

Little rock stars.

Thought some of you might enjoy a few pics of the video shoot 2nd Wave did today for Reggie Joiner’s reThink organization.  Our buddy Ashley Appling was there rocking the lead mic, and our little rock stars appeared as his backup band for a music video to be used by reThink in October; I hope to post the final video here with their permission.   The guy with the camera is another good friend of ours, Steve Thomason of DueSouth Productions.

Internet…finally!

I’m in China.  This is my third day here, and I’ve finally had a chance to get online.  I have to make the most of my time, so I’ll be brief, which I should probably do a better job of all the time, actually.  

 

This is completely unrelated to my trip, but please go to http://www.ugclocal.com/wvfj/25136019.html and show 2nd Wave some love.  They’ve entered a contest held by J93.3, but I think they’re going to be disqualified because they’re too young.  

 

I know this is not my strongest post.  I’m still jetlagged!  More later.

The 20 second version of rehearsal

Here’s tonight’s 3 hour 2nd Wave rehearsal in about 20 seconds.  This video was created with Gawker, which is loads of fun.

Visiting Safehouse

     Tonight’s visit to Safehouse Outreach in downtown Atlanta will not be our last.  My Iphone took blurrier pics than usual, but take a look anyway.  We took a group of about a dozen people including  Joni “INOJ” Portee, some Second Wave members and parents (including my wife and son and the Woffords) and other friends (like Adam, Bill, Will, and Nancy).  Also ran into (recent Dove winner) Seth Condrey there.

     We first walked into a worship service geared towards Atlanta’s homeless.  The band 1-A-Chord was playing and they were ridiculous - tight vocals and nasty funk; these guys were for real and were great to hang out with as well.  Then we took the Safehouse tour and learned about opportunities to serve, in ways both musical and non-musical.  One of these ways is the Convoy of Hope event August 9th in the World Congress Center parking lot.  Safehouse needs 3000 volunteers to help pass out groceries, among other things.  We will be there!  Will you?

 

Capitol Gains

2nd Wave sounded great today at the Georgia State Capitol, playing for a National Day of Prayer rally.  Below is a bit of a montage for those who couldn’t make it.  Please drop a comment of encouragement for the band here.  I’m sure they’ll be checking in!
 

2nd.wav gets some good press.

Okay, it’s high time I blog/brag about the band my 11-year-old son Noah is in, 2nd.wav (pronounced Second Wave).  They were on the front page of the Forsyth County News today to promo their gig this weekend at Vickery Creek Elementary.  A snippet from that article: ”It’s so exciting because they’re actually a real band.  They actually get real gigs.  I know they play at different venues throughout the Atlanta area, so it’s a real treat for us to be able to bring them in and feature them at our school,” said Julie Royal (PTA Member).  

 

2nd.wav is Savannah Wofford on lead vocals, Russell Wofford on guitar/vocals, Holden Fincher on bass/vocals, Noah Stephens on keyboards/vocals, and Grayson Arias on drums.  Check out their recent performance at Northpoint’s Walking Wisely Weekend below, as well as some various band pics.
