What happens when you place two popular concerts back to back in a major league ballpark and then have a game to play the day after? Quite a lot actually. Last summer at a major league stadium in the Midwest two concerts were held on consecutive nights. When the dust settled, and after the stages […]
With the hint of graduation right around the corner, many high schools and universities have begun the rigorous process of planning one of the biggest events of a student’s life – graduation.
