Special Event Assignment On September 23, 2017, I attended the Luke Bryan, Brett Eldridge, and Granger Smith concert. It took place in Dallas, Texas at the Starplex Pavillion. I attended the event to listen to well-known country artists preform. Going into the concert I had high expectations, but after observing details of the event, I was a little disappointed. The purpose of the “Huntin,’ Fishin,’ and Lovin’ Everyday” tour was to promote Luke Bryan’s album (Kill the Lights), Brett Eldridge’s new album (Brett Eldridge), and Granger Smith’s latest album (When the Good Guys Win). The goals of the concert was spread awareness to crowd of these new albums and excite the public of the new music that would soon be released. The objectives were to play three new songs per artist before ending each segment between musicians. The target audience varied within each performer. Granger Smith used repetition of his hometown of Dallas to make the Dallas-born audience feel like his family, Brett Eldridge targeted women by pointing to certain women in the crowd between each song, and Luke Bryan targeted men …show more content…
While I’ve been to the Starplex Pavilion many times, the couple I sat next to were new to the scene, but figured the environment out very quickly. As you walk into the Pavilion, you are surrounded by numerous concession stands containing food and promotions (such as 99.5 the Wolf). While you continue to head towards you designated area for the concert, there are stands for blanket and chair rentals if you are planning on sitting on the lawn. This is very creative due to the fact that many attendees don’t enjoy holding onto a blanket or chair if they move around the lawn. The layout of the pavilion has a section to stand in front of the stage, seats that surround it on a lower level, and a large lawn that surrounds the seats on an upper level. The format of the event was thoroughly structured and beneficial to all
Times have changed, and along with the times so has country music. American country music lovers have went from Loretta Lynn and Waylon Jennings, just two of the many classic oldies, to Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, two very appealing country music artists. However, it is not only the tune of the music that has changed, it is the image, the appeal, and overall the type of icons the media is portraying these modern music stars as. Icons such as Lynn and Jennings had identifiable features within their music as well as their appearance that spoke sweet southern belle and rugged twang. Whereas Underwood’s and Bryan’s appeal now is much more sexualized than it was during the oldies. These changes affect the way modern day singers are marketed compared to former country music stars, instead of focusing on talent it is now looks.

On Monday March 25, some members of the baseball team, my girlfriend, and I traveled to Murray State University to watch a concert performed by Nelly and the St. Lunatics. It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent seats about seventy-five feet away from the stage.
The event I attended was “An Evening of Jazz” concert held at the Fine Arts Hall on November 17 at 7:30 p.m. The performing groups were The Santa Fe Rhythm and Blues Review, The Santa Fe Jazz Combo, and Santa Fe Big Band. The event was to for me to understand, experience Jazz music and know the instruments used.
So we figured everything out and and figured that Alex Kramper, Tori Main, Trevor Waller, Kristen Kesler, and me were going to the concert, the next day we met at Alex’s house to all ride in the concert together in Trevor’s truck, it was a planned booze cruise through St.Louis. So I woke up early in the morning for the Saturday concert and did my chores early in the morning so I wouldn’t have to do them the next day all hungover. I finally finish all my chores and then take a shower and head out to Alex’s house dressed in rock concert material, with a Captain Morgan handle and a case of Stag.
This is what I had been hoping for the entire year. I had been to many that were quite the same to this one, but none that could give me the same enduring edginess and serenity that I was feeling right now. My eyes skimmed across the hundreds of people who were all there for the same reason as me. Striving to be out of the sweltering sun, but not out of clear view of what I came for, I lead myself in a mighty search for the spot for which I belonged. As I sat down, I prepared myself for the pain that I was going to feel about an hour later. I always forgot how sore I would get from sitting on the bleachers for so long, but every time I approached them, I would remember and smile.
Winner these rewards were really meaningful to him after what he has been through(Finan,Eileen). Over the years Luke Bryan has had so many number one hits for all his different albums and songs, that it’s too many to list, but a couple is Drink a Beer and That's My Kind Of Night. Just recently he sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl 52. Today Bryan helps out three different charities they are St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make A Wish Foundation, and Young Men Christian Association (YMCA)(Biography.com Editors). Bryan’s music career is still growing today even with his busy life that he

There is an event that I just can describe as one of the most unique and memorable in my life: attending my first concert. After years of listening to Ron Pope’s music, watching his YouTube channel, and following all of his social media accounts, the satisfaction of seeing someone whose music has been the soundtrack to my life for so long was unreal. There were moments that I had to internally remind myself that this is, in fact, happening in real life. Being a dedicated (some may say eccentrically so) fan is tough work – and I was rewarded with two hours of pure magic for one night. Attending my first concert was a unique event that I will always remember fondly because of the atmosphere, the amazing performance and the sense of connection
