Runners can expect a big bang for the end of the school year. The ASI is currently in the process of planning a spring concert event called "The Show," set to take place in the CSUB Amphitheatre on May 16, 2009.
While ASI President Carlos Ortiz was unable to provide many specifics such as who will be performing and costs of the event, he assures the "ASI is in the process of working out the logistics of the event and it is moving forward steadily."
The problems are trying to book artists. Many bands will not book a show until about two months before the performance date for reasons of possible schedule changes.
At the ASI Board of Directors Meeting on January 30, 2009, when asked what genres were being looked at for the concert, Ortiz suggested musicians similar to John Legend, Ne-Yo and Paramore. The ASI hopes to have both mainstream and local bands in attendance.
Though the ASI is very hopeful in a favorable outcome for "The Show," if they cannot find enough artists to perform there is a plan B: a carnival-style affair to take place on the same date. However, Ortiz promises he is "not giving up."
