Information On Concert At Jerry World

[UNT90]

A friend sent this to me. I hadn't heard anything about it. Figured I would share with those who might want to get in on this in the last couple of hours. Hey., a good reason to tailgate:

June 24, 2010

Dear UNT community,

I'm excited to tell you that the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee invited the renowned UNT Symphony Orchestra to play at XLV Countdown: Live from Cowboys Stadium presented by Frito-Lay. The event, which features a special concert by Tim McGraw, will celebrate 50 years of Dallas Cowboys history and culminate the Kick-Off Concert Series for North Texas' first Super Bowl. The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10.

In recognition of this honor, the UNT community may participate in an exclusive ticket pre-sale that allows us to buy tickets today, two days before they are available to the general public.

The UNT community will have the opportunity to buy tickets in the pre-sale from 10 a.m. today to 10 p.m. Friday. Tickets will range from $25 to $65 with a majority of the seating costing $25.

This is something the entire UNT community can be proud of and excited for, as it recognizes our prestige as a renowned music school and our significance in the North Texas community. UNT is the only university invited to participate, and I know the 90-piece orchestra will give an extraordinary performance in this one-of-a-kind setting.

In addition to joining Tim McGraw for part of his performance, UNT's orchestra will perform works commissioned by the NFL to accompany films highlighting Dallas Cowboys history and Emmitt Smith's August induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Concertgoers also will be able to hear pianist Van Cliburn perform the National Anthem.

If you can't make it to the event, you can volunteer to be part of preparations for the Feb. 6 Super Bowl XLV.

I hope you all will be there at the countdown live event to cheer on the orchestra and add your Mean Green pride to the Dallas Cowboys celebration.

Sincerely,

V. Lane Rawlins

President

North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee

That's just awesome. And damn...Van Cliburn rarely performs anymore - that's beyond cool he'll be there too
