(The Ten Commandments.... of AMP Concerts) 1. Time. The music will start promptly as scheduled. You won't want to miss a minute, so it is recommended that you arrive early to enjoy cocktail hour and to get settled before the music starts. Tickets must be presented at the door/gate. The music will play rain or shine, so an alternative venue will be announced in the event of rain. 2. Dress down – way, way down. There is no dress code. T-shirts are standard concert attire and should be untucked at the door. 3. Think Alternative. Don’t expect to hear any music that you recognize. 4. Picnic (BYOBeverages). Plan on five to six hours of live music at our spring and fall events. You should bring snacks and beverages unless otherwise indicated. Advance notice will be given if there will be any food or beverage concessions. Alcoholic beverages are allowed at the zoo and at the Red River Amphitheater. Please note, however, that glass containers are not allowed. Also, and most importantly, if you choose to drink alcohol, you must be at least 21 years of age, drink responsibly and bring a designated driver. 5. Clean Up. Please make an effort to deposit all rubbish in trash cans to be located on the premises. 6. Bring friends. One of the big goals of AMP is to cultivate an audience. Each member will receive four tickets to each of the main spring and fall events, so that means bring a date and two friends. If you are unable to find a date and/or two friends, please let us know in advance in order that we may give your extra tickets to someone more popular. 7. Mating Season. Springtime is mating season at the zoo, so certain portions of the zoo may be closed at that time. For any springtime events at the zoo, please try to stay close to the stage area and avoid venturing into closed areas or near the gorilla cage, unless you are available. 8. Dance and scream. A concert is a give and take situation. The band will play better and longer if they know they are appreciated. That means rush the stage, dance, yell, dance, whistle, dance, hold a flaming lighter in the air, and scream for an encore. 9. Buy CDs. Each band will be selling its own CDs. You will want to buy one. So bring an extra $20.00 or so to buy a CD or two and to support these musicians (who depend on CD sales to feed themselves). 10. Enjoy. Everything else is fair game, so lighten up and enjoy the music while you still can! |
