Saturday, June 6, was a great day for the Greater Kansas City area.  Not only did the afternoon bring relief from the cold and rainy weather of the morning, but the evening brought another excellent concert to Capitol Federal Park @ Sandstone. 

The evening started early, as the VIP club opened at 5:30 pm, a full two hours before the show.  This allowed fans with a VIP Experience pass to enter the facility early and enjoy drinks and a Mix 93.3 DJ before the show.  Regular doors opened at 6:30, and the excited crowd began pouring in.
 
Taking the stage first was Brett Dennen, a budding young artist out of California.  His smooth folk/pop tunes were a perfect warm-up for the evening's headliner, O.A.R.  This rock band, hailing from Maryland, put on a great show on this clear, June evening.  Their two hour set consisted of both classic favorites, Crazy Game of Poker and Hey Girl, for instance, in addition to new hits, such as This Town and Shattered.  
 
While Dennen and O.A.R. were rocking the main stage, the cleaning crew was hard at work behind the scenes.  They worked tirelessly to keep the venue clean and pleasant.  Working side-by-side with the cleaning crew was the recycling team, who did a terrific job, as always, of maintaining the facility's green initiatives.  O.A.R.'s green team joined in, helping make for a fun, environmentally-friendly evening.
 
In sum, Saturday's show was another huge success for Capitol Federal Park @ Sandstone, and is sure to be followed by more great concerts this summer.  So, grab your tickets and head on over to Cap Fed Park!
