Rock Stars Love Custom Banners
Summer is here, which means it's time to see some live music. Summer is a great time to see a concert because outdoor venues allow concertgoers the freedom to take up a little more space and act a bit more crazy than they would if they were inside an arena or coliseum. Hearing my favorite songs and hanging out with a big group of friends are the two best aspects of summer concerts. I can control whether or not I go to a show with friends; I cannot, however, control which songs the band chooses to play. Hearing a particular song is never guaranteed. I will say, however, that it never hurts to have a good attitude and a little luck! In the following paragraphs, I am going to share with you three ways to increase your chances of hearing your favorite song at a concert. Remember, these are just suggestions and are by no means guarantees.
CARRY ALONG A VINYL BANNER
So often when I go to concerts I see innocent children and eager teenagers holding up poster boards on which are written the names of the songs they want to hear. I honestly don't think that a piece of poster board is enough to get the attention of the band on stage. For the concerts that I have attended this summer, I have been bringing with me a large custom banner with the words of my favorite songs written in bold, shiny lettering. Custom banners are great for concerts because they roll up, travel easily and they're 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
Custom banners don't serve much purpose unless they are high enough in the air for the band to see them. Therefore, unless you are super tall, you are going to have to devise a way to get that custom banner up in the air above everyone else at the show. Lucky for you, I have a solution. Just include sleeve pockets on either end of the vinyl banner. These pockets are important because they allow you to attach long plastic poles to the custom banner which you can then use to hold the vinyl banner high 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.
GET CREATIVE WITH YOUR CUSTOM BANNER
This may sound dumb, but through my research I learned that the crazier the combination of colors I included on my custom banner, the more likely I was to get a band's attention. Similar to the male peacock, who raises his beautiful tail feathers as a way of attracting a mate, you want to get a band's attention with bright colors and fancy lettering. I once brought a with me to a show that was so elaborately decorated that the lead singer of the band singled me out from the thousands of people at the concert and told me I had a great custom banner. The band then played my favorite song, which I will remember for the rest of my life!
THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
So there are my three recommendations. Like I said earlier, these methods don't always work, but they sure increase your odds. Now get out there and go to as many concerts as you can, and don't forget your !
