My granddaughter Ella turned ten that day and her surprise was her first Concert, Pentatonix !!! she was so excited , I told her to make a sign to tell it was her birthday and first concert, she did ! well our seats were very high up but she kept waving that sign around and then an Usher came and swooped her to the front and PTX talked to her then SANG Happy Birthday Ella !!!!! well Ill tell ya her mom and i cried and smiled for days !!!! she told all her friends and yes mom let her have a phone at school for a few days to show off her Video of PTX singing and her up in the front enjoying it !!!!!

  • Dollywood for New Kids on the Block · Sat, 30 May 2015

    Seen then 2nd row in Grand Rapids Michigan May 30th 2015. It was the best concert of my life. Amazing from beginning to end. I can't wait to see them live once again. Been a fan since 1990. They are even more magical then they were years ago. Love love loved it!

  • A guest 100% for Korn · Sat, 27 Mar 1999

    Best show I've ever seen. Both zombie and Korn amazing. The sound in this area was crazy good and super loud...ear plugs loud.
