Post 2, One Direction’s concert in Chile

It was April 30, 2014, that day I went to school and at about 10:00 a.m. my dad went to pick me up from class and left me at my cousin’s house because both of us along with a friend of my cousin would go to the concert of the boy band One Direction composed by Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, their musical style revolves around pop, dance pop, teen pop and pop rock. In 2015 Zayn Malik left the group and finally in 2018 the band broke up although today there are rumors of a possible reunion of the band but the latter is not certain.

My cousin’s friend’s father left us outside The National Stadium because we had to line up and at about 13:00 the doors of The National Stadium opened and we could enter to find our seats.

The place was crowded and noisy, that day the weather was changeable, it was hot and then it was cold, but nothing was going to discourage us.

The wait was long because the concert was supposed to start at 20:15 and it was only 14:00, but it was fun because we had brought food and the 3 of us talked and laughed a lot and at one point among all present in the Stadium we practiced “The wave” a total of 10 times and sang in chorus some songs of One Direction, but I must admit that if I felt anxious and wanted to start the concert at once.

When the concert started I started dancing and screaming like never before, I liked One Direction not only for their music because the members of the band always mentioned to people how important it is to be yourself, the inner beauty, you will never be alone, etc. In those years I was a victim of bullying and listening to the music of One Direction I felt free.

In that concert I could be myself and I felt that I could fly free, when the concert ended I had lost my voice from screaming so much and I spoke hoarse. When I left the Stadium the street were full of vendors selling their products at half price I restrained myself from buying anything before the concert because the prices of products are higher at that time.

I bought a scarf, a bracelet, some gloves and when my cousin’s friend’s father came to pick us up he gave us some ties. When we got at my home my mom made me some tea for my throat my voice was hoarse for about 3 days but it was worth it.
