First of all, I have been a very huge Honor Society fan since the VERY BEGINNING. It was in 2007 that I first heard of them and ever since that day I've been supporting them all along their journey. Its been about 2 years now, since the first time I heard of them, I knew that they were amazing and they had potential to grow more as artists. They've promised not to forget me and I've promised never to forget them!!!
On November 30th 2008 at the Hollywood Palladium, I saw them perform live for the first time as they opened up for The Jonas Brothers. They have this dance called the Honor Roll that you do for their catchy song, "SEE U IN THE DARK" and I was one of the ONLY fans singing along to their songs and doing the Honor Roll dance, but now which is almost a year later, almost EVERYONE knows the dance. After that concert, I was able to meet&take pictures with HONOR SOCIETY and they were so humble, down to earth, & gentlemen.
Honor Society had just recently just moved to Los Angeles on Halloween 2008 and now they had more opportunities to spend quality time with fans. Their fan base grew largely as soon as they moved to California with the help of myspace, facebook, and twitter. Honor Society has this thing called a PPP (Pinkberry Parkinglot Party) which is when they go to Pinkberry and they hang out with fans. I've been able to attend 2 PPP'S so far. They are really nice gentlemen and they even gave me birthday shout outs in a video. They've been also kind enough to talk to some friends at the times when they can't make it to events but I can. When I think of Honor Society, I don't think of them as some cocky, stuck up band who doesn't like to meet fans. I think that ALL bands should follow Honor Society's example because WITHOUT the fans there would be going anywhere. I think of Honor Society more as my friends because I can absolutely have amazing conversations with them during their events. Jason Rosen, one of the members of Honor Society, he has given me the nick name as "The Girl in The Hat", because in the beginning when I first met them, I would wear my hat. They all know my name and know who I am. The 4 gentlemen of Honor Society have all met my mom and some of my friends and they've had the chance to have conversations with them. Even my mom thinks that are really nice. Thats one of the main reasons besides their talent that I've followed & supported them because they really do care about their fans & they always stay humble and true to themselves.
I've met Honor Society 11 times now and they are AMAZING!!! They are 100% SICKNASTY!! Below is when I've met them & the events I've been of them!!:

ps..I am a TRUE FAN and I try to go to as many Honor Society events that I can but sometimes other things in life get in the way and you can't. Overall, you ALMOST ALWAYS find me at an Honor Society event in the Los Angeles area.
I was SOO PROUD of them on September 15th 2009, when they released their first album, "FASHIONABLY LATE". This is the album that they have waited their whole lives for and to see their dreams come true was such an AMAZING feeling. I've been their since the beginning when not all of fans knew about them. I've seen them grow so much that its sometimes so hard to believe all their accomplishments. When I went to target on their release date, I was in SHOCK that their albums were in the shelves of a store nation wide. I couldn't believe that MY FRIENDS, HONOR SOCIETY, had an album out. This is all thanks to their AMAZING friends, fans, and family support.
Once you hear 1 song from their new album, it is so addicting that you won't want to push stop or pause. I hear the album 24/7 and its so amazing. Almost everyone that I know...knows about my love for them. I am a true obssessed fan and I try to encourage people to check them out. Once I introduced Honor Society to my family, they liked them a lot.
They opened their fan club (HS CREW) in early June of 2009, and as soon as they opened the fan club, I joined RIGHT AWAY!!! The HS CREW is basically a family of Honor Society fans who love them. We are all true fans. The best part of it is that you intereact with people who share the same love for them and there is ABSOLUTELY NO DRAMA.
So, I've met them many times(11 TIMES!!) (WOOT WOOT!!) and Honor Society is basically made of 4 handsome gentlemen: Jason, Michael, Andrew, and Alex who are really talented. Their show last night was incredible and it was one of the best shows I have ever been too. They were filming that day so I'm sure they put EXTRA effort in performing their show. This time during their show, I was able to be on Jason's side around the 4th row or so. I usually get 1st or 2nd row in the standing only venues but 4th row is still very good. They did a good job along with their opening acts: Esmee Denters and Emily Osment. I love how they have so much gusto and lots of energy to rock out and put on a good show. After the show, I won a meet and greet from the Fan Club (HS CREW). The best moment was when Jason Rosen from Honor Society was like, "Where's your hat?". Then I told him, "Did you know that your dad is following me on twitter?" Then he said, "Oh really...I didn't know that!" He rememebered me and Andrew Lee was like, "Hey Valerie!!". Then Mike, he probably forgot that we shared the same birthday but he was all like, "11 times and counting!!". Then Alex was all like, "Nice to see u again"!! They are seriously AMAZING. Anyone who hasn't check them out, they should right away because its something they won't regret, trust me.
Their popularity is growing rapidly and soon enough in no time they will be selling out arenas. I can't wait for that day to happen and for the day that they win a Grammy. I can already see it in their future and without realizing this, it will happen in no time.
HONOR SOCIETY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND YOU SHOULD DEFITENTLY CHECK THEM OUT!!! SERIOUSLY YOU SHOULD!! GO DO THAT NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!!
