I know it has been a while since my last concert post and I apologize but now I am devoted to catching up to present time so that I can write as things happen which is how a normal blog should be. So anyway, this one probably won’t be as long and detailed as usual. 

It was a week before Zootopia. The lineup for the show was Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Simple Plan, Sara Bareilles, Gavin DeGraw, Jesse McCartney, Ferras, OneRepublic, Jordin Sparks, Danity Kane, and New Kids on the Block. Before each Zootopia, there is also a preshow which is very conveniently free of charge (which would feature Metro Station, Sara Barellies, Push Play, and Flyleaf).

I was sitting in math class day dreaming about how fun the concert would be, but the problem was that I hadn’t gotten any tickets for the show. Earlier, I had searched online for cheap tickets, but I couldn’t find any in my desired price range. After thinking about how fun it would be and how much I would be missing out if I didn’t go, I passed a note to my friend Emily who sat behind me in math saying “Can we PLEASE go to Zootopia?” She replied back, “Yes.”  

We gathered a group of 4 girls and planned out how to get there and get home and were excited to go, however, we still did not have tickets. We decided that we could just go to the pre-show because we loved the bands playing there and figured that it was better than not going at all. 

 

When we arrived, there were tons and tons of people there. There were booths set up all over the place with raffles with cool prizes including band meet and greets, merchandise, and TICKETS. We tried so hard to win tickets. We entered every contest we could find a billion times, but we didn’t luck out. We were still able to see the free bands, luckily, which was really fun!

Metro Station is always really fun to see in concert because their music is really upbeat and catchy. To our surprise, we spotted Miley, who is a sibling to Trace who is in the band, standing and rocking out on the side of the stage with her mom. That was exciting! Next to play was Sara Barellies. I was shocked by her performance. She has a truly incredible voice and so much talent on the piano. I loved watching her sing. Later was Push Play and Flyleaf. Although I didn’t know that many of their songs, I knew enough to have fun. Push Play was into the show enough that I was able to have fun with barely even knowing the words. Flyleaf was a little scary, I must admit, but they were also very good. 

As we were giving up hope and about to leave because the doors had just opened for the show, we went to wait for our ride to come pick us up. But suddenly, we saw a woman walking around with a sign taped to her t-shirt that read “SELLING FOUR TICKETS”. We rushed up to her freaking out because we were so ecstatic. She sold us each a ticket for only $30 each, and the seats weren’t even that terrible. They were behind the stage, which was really funny, but we really just wanted to go. But it turned out that the seats were actually really cool. There was a screen back there, so we could see what was going on just as well as if we were to have sat in the front and far away. Also, we could see backstage from above, so we could see each performer before they hit the stage. For example, we saw Miley before she went on. She was dancing like crazy with her best friend, Mandy, to Jesse McCartney who was singing at the time. We also saw the Jonas Brothers before they went on and Joe was doing push-ups yo warm up for the performance. It was awesome!

The show all in all was very good. I didn’t like all of the performers, (like Danity Kane and New Kids On the Block), but the other awesome bands made it worth while. 

 

Here’s some photos that I took from the day!
