Rock Stars Love Vinyl Banners
Summer is here, which means it's time to see some live music. 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. Through many years of going to concerts and testing out ways to influence the bands to play my favorite songs, I now know for certain that there is no guaranteed method for enticing the ensemble to perform a particular tune. It comes down to having a positive, optimistic attitude and a little bit of 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. While these methods will increase the likelihood of hearing that special song, keep in mind there are no guarantees.
CARRY ALONG A VINYL BANNER
I never fail to see a kid at a show holding up a piece of white poster board with the name of a song written on it. I honestly don't think that a piece of poster board is enough to get the attention of the band on 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
Your custom banner is useless unless you are able to hold it up high enough above the crowd for the band to see. Thus, you need to get creative if you want the band to see your vinyl banner. It must be your lucky day, though, because I have a solution! Just include sleeve pockets on either end of the vinyl 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.
CREATIVE BANNERS WORK THE BEST
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 did such a good job with my that the lead singer called me out and congratulated me on my vinyl banner design. 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. 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 !
