UB works to select Spring Concert artist

Members of the University Board are currently sifting through the list of recommendations for the upcoming Spring Concert in order to make a decision on which artist it will be.

A survey was sent out shortly before Thanksgiving Break to students asking them to choose which artist they would most likely see at the Spring Concert.

Kara Butorac, the chair for the UB, said the artists lined up with each genre as representatives of the genre.

She said nothing has been set yet, and members are still compiling the results.

Butorac added that one thing the members look at, though, are the comments given by students in order to accurately select an artist to perform.

Surveys have been used for a number of years to gauge student interest for the Spring Concert, and Butorac said despite any one genre not receiving particular interest in previous years, the selection still stays on the survey.

“The student body’s (interests) can change year to year,” Butorac said.

The Spring Concert is tentatively set for sometime in April, she added.

Last year’s concert featured Phillip Phillips, winner of season 11 of TV’s “American Idol” performing. He was also chosen based on a survey sent out.
