I can't think of a better way to start the Warped Tour than by seeing one of my favorite bands, so I didn't mind that The Wonder Years were playing so early in the day at the Mansfield, MA date on July 13. (I had to sit through The Ready Set, who played on the other half of the amphitheater's stage, first.) Despite being among the earliest acts, a throng of kids were piled into the pit area and stadium seats to watch one of modern pop punk's finest.

also, i cant believe you saw the acacia strain instead of august burns red! wut

ABR are a the better band, no doubt, but I have shot them three or four times over the years but never TAS, plus ABR played 10 minutes longer so I knew I'd be able to see at least a portion of their set.

Same. They put on a fantastic show. And not relying on their onstage antics, the talent level is great as well.
If you are interested check some of my photos from the day:
