Marketing Intern, Kelly, on the Heineken Grandstand Stage
Every night of the Toyota Summer Concert Series on the Heineken Grandstand Stage, a very famous artist or band puts on an amazing show. But, before the show even begins, a chosen intern (that’s where I come in) has to go on stage in front of the entire crowd (who is honestly sometimes getting very anxious and rambunctious waiting) and announce upcoming events of the San Diego County Fair. Almost every night, we are greeted with cheers and whistles, I think because the crowd is just happy to see ANYONE come on stage! It’s a pretty sweet rush and I now can somewhat relate to how big musicians must feel rockin’ out for their fans. Granted, these people are not members of the “Marketing Intern Fan Club,” but it’s still pretty cool to get cheered on by a large crowd just for walking ten steps to a microphone!
It’s only about 45 seconds of actual stage time but it is definitely on the ‘perks’ of working at the Fairgrounds. We only have about seven days left, but I am really excited to announce for Uncle Kracker, Lifehouse, OneRepublic, and Jeff Dunham next week! You can be the judge, but I think we are ready for our own World Tour!
