Elton John, Chicago and now
Bruce Springsteen three big
concerts in Lincoln within a two
month span. How are we lucky
enough to get these?
Bill Buntain, coordinator of the
Major Concerts Presentations
Team, said, "We develop a rela
tionship with the promoters and
they let us know when the per
formers are in the area. The Bob
Devaney Complex is becoming
better known across the United
States and cf course, good attendance-
and great audiences
help our relations with the pro
moters." The Major Concerts Presenta-
tions Team is separate from the
University Program Council's Con
certs committee. Gale DiSabitino,
UPC adviser said the presenta
tions team works security at major
concerts.
The members learn what really
goes into a show production," she
said. They do everything from
designing the dressing rooms and
putting up the stage to running
errands and making sure meals
arrive for the performers.
"WeVe always had security at
the concerts" DiSabitino said,
"but this year, we decided to call
it a team."
Working on concerts means a
long day of preparation. Pat Hal
derman, a member of the com
mittee, said she worked at the
n
Elton John concert from 7 a.m.
until 2 a.m. the next day.
"It's really exciting," she said. "I
enjoy seeing them set up. IfyouVe
never seen all the work that goes
into the making of a performance,
you wouldn't believe it."
Although working on this com
mittee h voluntary, the concerts
aren't free. Buntain said average
ticket prices are $15; big acts are
a little more. It costs about C0,OOO
to put on a show.
Approximately 40 people and
11 alternates work, at the con
cert The response to this commit
tee has been unbelievable," DiS
abitino said. "We had 170 appli
cations thlj fall. That's Just too
many people so we have to give
priority to those who have worked
in the past. To be on this commit
tee, you must be willing to work
long hours the day before the
show and also the day of the
show."
"It's a fun and exciting com
mittee," Halderman said. "Being
so close to the stars, there's always
the chance you might meet them."
The next concert is Bruce
Springsteen on Nov. 18. Buntain
says to listen to the radio and
read the papers for details. Ticket
information will be released soon.
