We Are Off to a Great New Year at the BPAC!
With our January concerts behind us, we can honestly say we are off to a great 2010! We had a standing room crowd for our first Backstage Event concert with Vincent Crofts, Mindi Reid, and Vern Woodbury. The audience loved the more intimate and casual setting of being onstage with the performers. Over 700 people were thrilled with the BYU Young Ambassadors' high- energy musical revue. Their show was filled with amazing talent and endless excitement. As we begin a new year, we have one request of our patrons - bring someone to a concert! Unbelievably, there are still people in southeast Idaho who have never been to our beautiful facility. Research indicates that people who come to one event will soon return for another. Let's fill the seats for every concert!
Please look at our calendar of events and make plans to attend an upcoming concert at the BPAC. Two concerts, which are expected to draw large crowds, are the fabulous comedian Aaron Wilburn, and the U.S. Air Force Band of the Golden West. You will want to get your tickets early for these events.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at our next concert!
