Here is the Backstage Blog's "FISHFEST 2009 Top Ten"
10. The FISH Promotions Crew...From Set up, to working all the FISH Radio Booths, to cleaning up, this crew was unstoppable! Next time you see them at a FISH event tell them how awesome they are :)
9. BRANDON MUCHOW...He had a huge crowd at the Edge Stage, we were so proud of him! He played the same stage slot that local favorite Jeremy Camp played at our first ever FISHFEST... Jadon Lavik played that same spot a couple years later... just sayin'
8. NEEDTOBREATHE...One of the best performances of the day, we aren't the only ones to say so, they got a glowing review in the OC Register! (p.s. they are the nicest guys too!)
7. HAWK NELSON... These guys rock! One of the biggest crowds we've seen at the Edge Stage... and are super nice....That's what we love about FISHFEST!
6. Phil Wickham was amazing. Huge huge crowds at the main stage in the middle of the day, showing the local love for this San Diego native... people love this guy, and for good reason!
5. Matthew West... how is it possible that 2009 was his first FISHFEST? The crowd was loving his set on the main stage, and he was such a blast to hang out with! (here's a video of BWD having some fun "auditioning for Matthew at the FISH broadcast booth)
4. Jars of Clay ... A Fish favorite for good reason, their set was amazing, they played lots of new music, but also some old favorites. The "re-invention" of Flood was fantastic! Come back to Orange County soon guys!
3. MercyMe... The entire Fish promotions team got to watch MercyMe from backstage, and it was incredible, because we got to see the concert from the bands perspective. Watching close to 15,000 people singing along and worshiping together was truly amazing!
2. Compassion International... 438 kids sponsored at FISHFEST! That's incredible!
1. YOU ... EVERYBODY WENT TO FISHFEST....our first ever SELL-OUT! You made our day! Thank you for bringing your family and friends to FISHFEST 2009, Thank you for making it the best FISHFEST yet!
