BYU Ballroom Concert tickets

Team and Parents,

The BYU Ballroom program puts on a concert at the end of each school year. This concert features all 5 Ballroom performing teams at BYU and is a wonderful concert. It will be an amazing show and a great opportunity to see some of the best Ballroom dancing and performances in the country. This is a performance, not a competition, and it will have amazing lighting, music, and costumes.

The concert for 2011 will be April 8-9 (Fri-Sat) at 7:30 pm each night, with a matinee at 2:00 on Saturday. (the weekend before Spring Break) The show will be about 2 hours. Reserved arena seats are $12/person and floor seats are $25/person. More info can be found at www.byutickets.com.

Because we are alumni of the BYU Ballroom program and have family members currently on the team, we have the opportunity to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public and will be able to get better seats. Accordingly, if you would like us to purchase tickets for you, please let us know which performance you would like and how many tickets. You will pay for them at the OHS Financial Office.

This activity is optional, but we strongly recommend it, as you will not see a better Ballroom performance anywhere – especially for students that are considering dancing at BYU or another college.

Tickets go on sale to the public this Wednesday (March 16), but we can purchase tickets tomorrow (March 15). So, please let us know by TOMORROW (March 15) if you are interested in tickets.

Let us know if you have any questions.
