Pentatonix Concert

On Christmas morning my sister and I were given Pentatonix concert tickets. We were excited, but after seeing the show last night it's nothing like we anticipated it to be. Pentatonix is an acapella group that preforms cover songs and some originals. When we got to the show at  the Peabody Opera House the stage was dim with purple lighting. Although they came out 20 minutes late, they definitely made up for it with the show. When they came out they preformed their Daft Punk medley and the whole room was vibrating. I was screaming so loud I thought that by the end of the concert I would lose my voice. They preformed a BeyoncĂ© medley, and even did their Evolution of Music song from their Youtube video. Avi, the one of the group who preforms the bass parts, did his special talent, overtone. It's where you can sing two notes at once. One sounds very low, and the other one was like Mariah Carey whistle tone. Kevin, the beatboxer, played one of his original songs on the chello while he beat boxed and it was awesome. My favorite part though, was when they set their microphones down. The whole place got silent, not one person talked. They preformed their song Run to You without any extra help. You could hear them so well, it was amazing. My mom almost started crying. At the end they finished up with Can't Hold  Us, by Macklemore, then confetti went of, they thanked us and went off the stage. Then everyone started chanting, "PTX! PTX! PTX!" they came back out for an encore. They preformed Thrift Shop and Tonight by Fun. This concert will always be my favorite, and if they come back in town, I'm definitely going to see them.
