Date: Tuesday, April 28
Ticket Price:
Showtime: 9:30 p.m.
$10 General Admission
Where: Cox Convention Center Arena $20 Green Dance Wristband
Aaron Watson, Abilene, Texas, has been through a lot in his 12-year career: 11 albums, the birth of four
children, countless hours on the road and many more still spent toiling away at his guitar, writing songs with
Jesus on one shoulder and the ghost of Waylon Jennings on the other, making the country tunes he was
born to play.
★Students who wish to participate in the dance on the
arena floor must purchase a green wristband for $20.
Wristbands also serve as your ticket and are nontransferable. Only 1,000 green dance wristbands will be
available for sale. First come, first served.
★ General admission tickets may be purchased in advance
for $10. Floor dance wristbands are $20 each. An FFA
chapter may purchase both. For advance tickets and/
or wristbands, make checks payable to the Oklahoma
FFA Foundation and mail to Kendall Brashears, FFA
Foundation Executive Director, 3909 Hickory Stick,
Chickasha, OK 73018. These tickets/wristbands will
be available for pickup at the State FFA Convention
registration desk
★General admission tickets or dance wristbands (if
available) may also be purchased with cash or check
on site at the State FFA Convention registration desk on
Tuesday. Once again, please make checks payable to the
Oklahoma FFA Foundation.
★ Each local chapter advisor will receive one free advisor’s
ticket (non-transferable) with the purchase of general
admission tickets. Multi-teacher programs will receive
one free advisor’s ticket per teacher.
★The top 20 FFA chapters contributing the most funds to
their FFA Foundation chapter trusts this school year will
each receive priority dance floor space next to the stage.
In addition, the top FFA chapter will receive backstage
passes to meet the band. These chapters must also
purchase a $10 white wristband for each member.
★Any FFA chapter that makes a donation of $2,000 or
greater to its permanent trust account will receive free
white wristbands for its members. Any chapter that
makes a $1,500 donation or greater may purchase $5
white wristbands for its members.
★ Donations to the chapter trusts must be received in the
state office by March 15. For more concert or chapter
trust information, contact Kendall Brashears at 405-2221078 or email him at [email protected].
