One Republic!

This post isn't going to be all that long since this wasn't an actual concert in an arena but they did play a few of their songs making it like a concert. This was a contest I had won through my local radio station, Y100! 

They played acoustically: 
-Apologize,
-Secrets, 
-All The Right Moves, 
........ and then answered questions ranging from how they named their band to how the road life is.

After questions were answered, we got in line to take pictures with them! Here are a few pictures I took:











That's me in the pink! :)

Mitchel Musso!

woooooo Mitchel <3

I have to say, I didn't expect much from him but his concert was amazing! I got there and met up with my friend Jessica (Jessmichellex3.blogspot.com) and waited in line with her! We finally got in later then expected as usual and headed down to the floor to have a good view of the stage. We were super close in our own little corner about 5th row or so? Concert began with opener, One Call. They sang about three songs or so and had a dance to each! Jimmy Robbins was the next opener! He sang more songs then we all thought he would, but they were great! I loved him!

FINALLY after watching both openers + an extra twenty minutes or so, MITCHEL MUSSO came out! The crowd went INSANE, pushing and knocking people over like crazy. Suddenly, I was separated from my friends and I could not get back to them! I was about second row now and was standing behind a father about 6 ft. tall maybe! A little after snapping pictures from the second row, I headed back to where my friends were!

I was so much more comfortable by them anyway since we were in our own section not hitting against anyone else.

Mitchel performed almost his whole album... Speed Dial, Welcome To Hollywood, Hey, Shout It, How To Loose A Girl, The In Crowd, and Movin' In. He also did a cover of Apologize by One Republic! He performed Hey with Jimmy Robbins at the end!

After the concert ended, my friends and I got in line to meet Mitchel Musso since we had bought Meet and Greets with our tickets! Finally it was our turn and they kept saying no pictures, no pictures, but of course we all took pictures with him!!! I tried to hug him but it was across a counter so It didn't turn out as planned haha!

Overall, the concert was great and Mitchel was extremely nice! I loved meeting him and hope to see him perform again!

Jonas Brothers in Ft. Lauderdale!

Since school began, I have not had any time to write blogs so I am catching up on a few on this wonderful Thanksgiving day! :)

Many unexpected exciting things happened on this day (August 19). 

I arrived hours early to meet with the Verizon guys for soundcheck since I had won soundcheck passes days before through Verizon! Right when I got to the arena, busses arrived since the boys were at a road dogs game with their band and crew. Along with everyone else I headed by the busses yet it was hard to see since we weren't leveled with them and their were tons of trees in the way!

After starring at busses for five minutes I left and went to talk to the Verizon guys, Seth and Warren. Wonder Girls came and sang their song "Nobody" outside and then headed into the arena.

Soon later we headed into soundcheck and I was more excited then ever! :) I got in and was maybe 15th row or so...but then as soon as the boys made their entrance, I moved up to the very front almost in arms length reach of them!

They answered questions, brought two girls on stage, and played two songs: Video Girl & Gotta Find You!

After soundcheck ended, I saw John Taylor talking to a family in which he knew to the right of me so I asked for a photo and received one! :) I then headed out to get a shirt.

My mom was on the phone with one of the Jonas Brothers New York security guards and her phone wasn't working in the arena so we headed to go outside. On our way out we bumped into Mike, their main security guard! My mom handed Mike the phone and said someone wants to talk to you! The two Jonas security guards talked together and hung up.

Mike smiled at my mom, my mom smiled back and in the blink of an eye I was at the Jonas Brothers Meet and Greet! JUST LIKE THAT! I felt bad since my friends were hoping to get in as well and I tried to convince Mike but he couldn't take so many people :/

Oh yeah before heading to the Meet and Greet, I met the Wonder Girls! :)

Mike walked my mom and I up to the Meet and Greet where we waited in line for a little bit. It got closer and closer to my turn and I could barely breathe in there! SO many girls, so claustrophobic haha! Big Rob was walking around and I couldn't help but stare at him and snap photos! 

It all hit me as I walked into the tent! (For this tour, the Jonas Brothers Meet and Greet was in a tent! Just you, the boys, Big Rob, and their photographer, Rob Hoffman!) I hugged Kevin, then Nick, then Joe and took my photo! I told them how I had met Demi weeks previous and now I'm meeting them and how excited I was for the concert! I then hugged Nick again and Joe again... they wouldn't let me hug Kevin again probably since I took like five minutes in there haha!

It was my moms turn to meet the boys and as she entered the tent, I was supposed to leave but I stayed for about 30 seconds. My mom comes out and goes "AHHH! I HUGGED BIG ROB!" Lol.

After the meet and greet, we went downstairs to head to our seats. Along the way, I bumped into a million people I knew! Found our seats! FIVE rows behind the catwalk! Great seats! For Honor Society, Wonder Girls, and Jordin Sparks I moved up to the first row where my friend was sitting but for Jonas I went back to my seats :)

Overall, the concert was AMAZINGGG!!!! 

After it ended, my mom called Tiffany Giardina's dad to see where him and Tiffany were so we could go say hi to them! :) Found them, talked for a little bit, and took pictures!

It was one of the best nights of my life and I will never forget it!
