Jack White and the Custom Vinyl Banners
June, July and August are, in my book, the best months of the year to see a great outdoor concert. Seeing a concert in the summertime is great because the shows are usually outside, which is much more fun, at least in my opinion, than seeing a show inside a coliseum of arena. Hearing my favorite songs and hanging out with a big group of friends are the two best aspects of summer concerts. Hearing all of my favorite songs is very exciting. Hearing a particular song is never guaranteed. It comes down to having a positive, optimistic attitude and a little bit of luck. Keep reading to learn about three ways of increasing your chances of hearing your favorite tune at a show. Remember, these are just suggestions and are by no means guarantees.
CARRY ALONG A VINYL BANNER
It kills me when I go to a show and I see a young kid or a teenager holding up a piece of poster board with the name of their favorite song written on it. While I agree that using props is the best way to get the band's attention, I object to the use of poster board because I don't think the glorified paper is large enough to capture the attention of the folks on the stage. Nowadays I bring with me a bright, shiny custom banner as a prop to get the band's attention. A custom banner is a great concert prop because it rolls up and travels easily into the venue; and, custom banners are made of vinyl, which is waterproof. The fact that custom banners are waterproof is great because every now and then it will rain at a show, and even in those situations I still get to make my song request.
ATTACH YOUR CUSTOM BANNER TO LONG POLES ON EACH END
Vinyl banners are worthless if they can't be seen. Thus, creativity is a necessity when making song requests with a custom banner. Lucky for you, I have a solution. When you design your custom banner, be sure to include sleeve pockets on either end of the banner. These pockets allow you to affix metal or plastic poles to the vinyl banner so that you can then hold the banner up in the sky. This eliminates your height (or lack thereof) from playing a factor in whether or not you get to hear your favorite song.
MAKE YOUR BANNER BRIGHT AND FLASHY
I have had the most luck with hearing my favorite song when the colors on my custom banner are bright and flashy. After all, you have to do everything you can to get the band's attention. I once did such a good job with my that the lead singer called me out and congratulated me on my vinyl banner design. That was awesome!
THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
So there are my three recommendations. These suggestions may not work, but they will definitely improve your odds. Now get out there and go to as many concerts as you can, and don't forget your !
