Adelphi Bucket List: Attend Spring Concert

Adelphi University has an annual Spring Concert that is put on by the Student Activities Board. Attending Spring Concert is one of the most exciting ways to make the most out of your years at Adelphi. Here, we have Ambassador Tyler speak about his experience at Spring Concert!

Throughout the year, Adelphi definitely has a lot of anticipated traditional events put on my numerous organizations on campus. From Family Weekend in October to Southern Cookout in May, there are always so many different events to attend, most of which are free admission! My favorite traditional event on campus, by far, is none other than the Annual Spring Concert! Coming from a small school like Adelphi, you would think that performers we have for our Spring Concert aren’t too popular. Well, you thought wrong!

Over the past few years, Adelphi’s Student Activities Board has managed to attract some huge names to campus for our Spring Concert. This past year, which was my first Spring Concert, we had Shaggy and Fetty Wap perform for our students. In past years, we have had other big name artists like Ke$ha, Jason Derulo, Lupe Fiasco, and many more! Luckily enough, not only does our Student Activities Board have the opportunity to bring all of these celebrities to campus, but they also manage to keep the price of each ticket very low so that any student on campus can afford to attend! Tickets usually range between $20 and $30, which is surprisingly cheaper in comparison to what you would have to pay to see some of these performers outside of Adelphi.

This past year, I also served as a member and chair for the Student Activities Board. Because of my dedication and service to the club, I was actually given the opportunity to meet both Fetty Wap and Shaggy before their sets! How many people can say that they’ve had the opportunity to meet Fetty Wap!? Being involved with clubs on campus definitely has it’s perks, and I am forever grateful for Student Activities Board and all of the work they put in so that students can enjoy free/cheap events on campus! 

Overall, Spring Concert is just a really fun way to have fun and de-stress around the time of finals week! It is a great day to go out, spend time with friends, and enjoy the chill atmosphere that the Spring Concert provides to our students! Going to at least one spring concert during your time here as an undergraduate is a must, because you’ll never be able to see these artists for such cheap prices anywhere else.
