Camplified ’09 visited Camp Manitou in Oakland, ME today. The all-boys camp was a real treat as the campers took part in MTV’s Rockband activities and played some Yu-Gi-Oh! with our experts.

Tonight’s concert featured sets from Taylor Bright, Misha Williams, and Duke Squad. The camp was ready for us – for the last few weeks, they’d been listening to the music of tonight’s artists daily. They were pumped for tonight’s show!
The evening started out with Taylor Bright’s set. You would think a teenage girl would be intimidated playing to a room of a few hundred teenage boys…but Taylor is no average teenage girl. She had them all in the palm of her hand in no time – and they came to visit her to say hello later, too.

Next up was Misha Williams. Misha plays a great set filled with dance songs and some slower acoustic numbers. She has an amazing voice so even when she slows the show down a bit, the campers are still completely mesmerized with her and her performance.

Last up was Duke Squad. The Duke Squad boys are super high energy and always have a great time on stage. So, playing to a room of teenage boys gets pretty rowdy. The boys are jumping around and having a wild time within minutes – it’s crazy!

At the end of the night the artists sat and met with the campers – everyone connected through email or Facebook or whatnot, and all the kids left happily knowing they’d get updates on when they could see these musicians perform again.

Camp Manitou laid out a great day for the Camplified crew and artists. We had a wonderful time setting up the tour at camp – thanks Camp Manitou!
