We were getting more and more excited as we had our tickets handed to us and waited in the line. We spotted lots of Guides in tutus and even some in their uniform.

When we went in, I was shocked to see that we were only a few rows from the front. Suddenly the music got louder and we all knew it was about to start. The lights went down and the arena was filled with flashing lights. Olly Murs was the first to come on and there were lots of screams. My other favourites were Pixie Lott and The Wanted.

I have never been to the Big Gig before and, even though I was expecting it to be good, it was so much better than I imagined!
