Casting Crowns losing the youth fan base

So I went to the casting crowns concert last night as a volunteer for the merchandise table. I have seen CC once before live and it was pretty good then. The crowd was pretty into it, lots of worship. It was almost the same this time at Elmbrook church except the energy seemed a lot less. The crowd stood up, and sat down, and sang a long. The band seemed low key and not a whole lot of energy. Granted I'm a teen who loves hard rock and screaming, and jumping up around like a maniac listening to my favorite song. Yet it seemed like CC could do more to be energy filled.

I'm obviously not the only thinking this as I think I saw about 3 to 5 teens in an audience of 3,000 40-50 year old adults (a lot had small children with them). All of whom stood there and watched. If this is how they worship, excellent I'm pumped for them. But CC has to do something if they want to keep the youth interested.
