New Vocabulary: Deal - Facebook application in which you can coordinate ticket giveaways while building anticipation for the show.
Saturday night was my second show night, and my first country show. I gave a special thanks to my sponsor for letting me work the show considering I wasn't assigned to advertise it. The show consisted of two opening acts and the Rascal Flatts. When I entered the show (flashing my intern badge to every employee) I noticed the Rascal Flatts patrons contrasted greatly with those at Ben Folds. Everyone I saw was wearing flannels, boots, cowboy hats and American flag t-shirts. During Chris Young, the first performance, me, Adam, and Anne proceeded to survey those who had already found their seat. Although It was slightly awkward (as usual), It was interesting to see the difference in artists requested from Ben Folds. Instead of bands like Arcade Fire, Bob Dylan, and Matt and Kim, it was more like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. It was a good example of the diversity of different target markets.
Next me and Anne escorted a photographer from the Buzz to the floor of Luke Bryan's first two songs. The floor was pretty intense because the music was incredibly loud and everyone was dancing. I had fun standing to the side while my entire body was pounding from the sub woofer. After we guided the photographer back up to the marketing office I simply sat down and enjoyed the rest of Luke Bryan and the first half of Rascal Flatts. Overall the concert was a great experience for me because it showed the diversity of shows that come through Assembly Hall.
