There were lights! Cameras! A jazz band blaring in the stands! People whining! People sitting! People laughing! The pressure was on!!! This was it, this was the moment… and ten minutes never went by so fast or in such a blur! Everything sounded so great as the immersion of sound filled the semi-finals stage - Oberlin Steel
