the show was absolutely amazing. very sore after but well satisfying. & I met two of mayday parade's members after the show, alex & derek; So I went home with a big smile on my face.
the concert started late, and the academy is.. only got to play about 30 minutes. i thought this kinda was unfair to the band and their fans since they were the headlining band. also, the sound wasn't as loud and clear when the academy is.. was playing. the others bands seemed clearer and louder. the sound was very disconnected from the band.
mayday parade was AMAZINGGG, but the crowd was terrible, too many people thought they could do whatever they wanted to get to the damn front of the crowd rrrawwrr :(
What more can you ask from TAI? They are amazing musicians and composers. William Beckett is one of the best frontmen out there with an amazing voice. The band was really fun and amazing, not to mention William interacted with the fans a LOT. Their set was worth being front and center and almost being ripped apart from the amount of people trying to cram into the front.
All the bands were awesome! And all the band members were soooo nice!
It was an extremely well done performance by all the bands. They all sounded really good and it was great to see how awesome all the bands sounded. High energy shows witheverything sounding beautiful. Mayday and the Academy is.. were my favorites, they both just put on great shows and played theyre best songs, which is nice to see.
I brought my three teenage girls and two of their friends and they all enjoyed the show. Mayday Parade and The Academy Is... were both very good and we also liked You Me At Six. The Secret Handshake and Set Your Goals were OK, but we really didn't enjoy them as much as You Me At Six. As always, you get a lot of music for your money at the Starland Ballroom.
The show and venue were absolutely fantastic! All five bands gave an outstanding performance but the Academy Is, in particular, was better than I could ever have imagined. Plus, the Starland Ballroom provided a safe, well-ventilated, and spacious venue for the show. The best $15.00 ticket I have ever paid for! I came up all the way from the Washington, D.C. for the show, and I am glad I did!
this is really amazingg! they sounded great and i totally wish it lasted longerr (:
I decided to go because i LOVE the academy is..., and have loved them since the summer of 2006. But i was pleasantly surprised by Mayday! They were AMAZING! and of course, William Beckett is amazing, as expected!
The AP Fall Ball was amazing, it was so worth it. All of the bands were fantastic!
Great show...Starparking was definitely worth the extra money...got to the venue at exactly 6 p.m. and the line to get in was wrapped all the way around the parking lot, but with the Starparking, parking was up front and (!) you could show the pass at the door and not have to wait outside in the line to get into the venue. You Me At Six was good...The Secret Handshake was good... Set Your Goals? hmmm, not so much, but not my kinda genre... The Academy Is... great..... and last but never least, Mayday Parade was awesome....it's nice to hear a band live and know that they aren't all engineered in the studio....great tunes, great energy....only regret? Because it was the AP Fall Ball Tour, the set list was not as long as I'd have liked, but well worth the price of the ticket. Good times...would love to catch them again with less acts on the roster, so we could have a longer set...
I wasn't sure who was going to headline this show, being that both bands are pretty popular. Mayday wound up headlining, which I have to say was a mistake by whoever put that tour together. The Academy Is came out and tore down the house, with clean vocals, and crisp play from the entire band. After they finished I had high hopes for Mayday parade, who I had never heard live before. I'm a huge fan of their studio offerings, but when they took the stage and sounded nothing like their albums, I was more than disappointed. I wound up leaving early... Academy = 5 stars. Mayday = 2 stars
The Concert was great there were no problems seeing the bands on the stage and we could get really close!
This concert was just about the best ever! The Academy Is... had to cut the concert short at the DuPage County fair so this made it amazing that i got to see them play an actual full concert!
It was crazy since Set Your Goals are from San Francisco. TAI... sounded ok, they were kind of off, but mayday killed it!!
you will instantly fall in love with the you and me at six, set your goal, the secret handshake, mayday parade, and the amzing the academy is...
This was a non expensive concert which is nice in these hard times. Also I love both of the main bands Mayday Parade and The Academy Is... I think that we should have a lot more concerts near here.
I loved You Me At Six. I've waited at least four years to be able to see them. They are my favorite band and they were amazing. I loved it. The concert overall was very fun. I enjoyed all the bands, But ymas definitely was the best for me.
We went to the Fall Ball specifically to see TAI. They were awesome and we even got to meet and greet them. The Secret Handshake and Meet Me At Six were great as well. We weren't too impressed with the crowd. Obviously TAI is a band that attracts teen girls. The other bands like Set Your Goals attracted a different crowd.....wild older guys. They boys were out of control - bodysurfing, running circles in the crowd, bumping into people. The security tried to control them but didn't stop them. But in regards to music, I really enjoyed TAI and The Secret Handshake the most.
