Hundreds of students and electronic music fans filled the Fifth Third Bank Stadium to attend the world’s largest paint party Friday night. Life in Color came to Kennesaw for the second year in a row to showcase another epic production.
“You could feel the excitement in the air,” said junior Jarod Dickerson.
The gates opened at 6 p.m., and the stadium was immediately filled with a sea of white T-shirts, glowing lights and anxious partiers ready to become live artwork. Some people even came with paint already on them or brought it with them to increase the fun at the party.
As each second passed, Life in Color fans anticipated the moment they would become drenched in different colored paint. Finally, the countdown clock reached zero and paint began to fly from every direction; completely drenching everyone. The energy from the crowd was insane. Pink, purple, yellow, blue and green paint dripped from attendees’ bodies.
People were still buying tickets and entering the stadium after the first round of paint was sprayed. The graphics, performers and music also kept the crowd entertained. People struggled to maneuver through the massive amount of people to get to the front of the crowd.
“It was like Cirque de Soleil, except more exciting,” said Ervings Germaine, who was attending Life in Color for the second time.
“The entire event was very interactive and the energy was amazing.”
To add to the already ample excitement, Life in Color brought out the main event, Adventure Club. Adventure Club is an electronic dance music duo. The crowd pumped their fists and danced to the music as Adventure Club merged popular music with electronic beats. The crowd went completely insane when Adventure Club took the stage.
While Adventure Club performed, the crowd was still being covered in paint. There were also acrobats performing tricks on a rope. Once the acrobats came down, they joined the fun and sprayed paint all over the crowd.
The finale was filled with bright colors, more paint, acrobats and loud music. The graphics were amazing, completely stunning the crowd. Photographers and camera men captured images of everyone throughout the epic night.
After the production ended, the stadium and those in attendance were covered in paint. The sea of white T-shirts had disappeared underneath the massive amount of paint. Several people even took their shirts off so the paint could cover their bodies.
If you missed the show, Life in Color will continue its tour in several different cities. Some cities even feature different headline artists.
