Less than an hour before the rally was scheduled to begin, 10 remind us of the cmd. this is a safe place to say that....are you guys read to do the 10 cmd boogie?

Standing before a massive American flag, three performers called "Go Fish" (a name derived from Jesus' call for his disciples to be fishers of men), entertained the crowd with songs and raps). One member explained why they wear hockey jerseys sporting the number 10.

"It reminds us of the 10 Commandments," he said. "This is a safe place to say that ... Are you guys ready to do the 10 Commandments Boogie?" With that, they launched into that namesake song. Sample lyric from another song: "Jesus is the reason that we're here tonight."
