Cheyenne Frontier Days: The Band Perry and Rascal Flatts

It's been a busy, BUSY three weeks.  I had every intention of posting the day after I posted about the Rockies game and temple trip.  Then life happened.

The day after our trip to the temple and Rockies game, we went up to Cheyenne Frontier Days to see and hear The Band Perry and Rascal Flatts.  It was and INCREDIBLE concert!  When I first heard the line up for Cheyenne Frontier Days this year, I wanted to go to every single concert!  Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, and Jason Aldean were all coming!  Realistically though, we could only go to one.  So Neal and I talked about it, and we decided to go to Rascal Flatts.

Rascal Flatts has been our band since we started dating.  They sing our song, "Everyday", and a whole bunch of other songs that we love.




The Band Perry opened for Rascal Flatts.  I was actually really impressed with them.  They were obviously still a very young band, but they had a TON of energy, and they were fun to watch!  I think one of the coolest things was when they performed "When I Die Young" (one of their first big hits) the audience was singing a long with them and you could tell it was still absolutely incredible to them that so many people were singing THEIR song back to them.


Rascal Flatts was awesome, as we expected.  They had a HUGE screen behind them that played different things related to the song they were singing.  Our favorite part though, was when they began to sing "Everyday."  It was not one of their hits, so it was a very special moment for us to listen to live.


We had SO much fun!  After, we had to make a bathroom trip (doesn't everyone?).  While Neal was in the bathroom, he noticed one of the technicians was in there as well.  Somehow (don't ask me how...he just knows these things) he knew it was the sound engineer for the concert.  After we met back up again, I convinced him to walk down to front of house and say "hi."


We hung out for a little while longer to eat and let traffic die down a little bit.  We hope that next year we will be able to go up for more than just a concert, because everything looked so fun!!  Because we got up there so close to the start of the concert, we didn't have much time to look around, and by the time we got done, everything had closed.

We really enjoyed ourselves, and can't wait to go back next year!!
