Tysons Corner Center

As can be seen from the nearby roads, the Tysons Corner Center Plaza is decorated for the holidays! Kris Allen performed at the 2016 Christmas Tree Lighting event. Even if the weather was warmer than usual, it did not dampen the holiday spirits. In case you were not convinced, the artificial snow machine was turned on to add some wintry sparkle!

On this occasion, American Idol winner Kris Allen played selection of holiday music. Some were familiar songs, however, he has a lot of original songs in his set as well. Santa and personalities from 97.1 WASH FM also added to the show. Seeing that 97.1 has been playing all-Christmas music for a few weeks now, it was an added benefit to see an artist singing live.

After that, Kris walked down to the Santa HQ set. Along with the big guy, they had a short meet and greet with fans. Having the chance to meet an American Idol and to get a photo with Santa was a nice combination right before Christmas. Take some time to see the beautifully lit tree out on the Plaza before the new year! The changing colors keep it looking fresh!

In July and August, the Summer Concert series continued at Tysons Corner Center. Similarly to the previous post, the crowds came out in the nice weather to hear the performers. While the large crowds made it difficult to move around, it made it very easy to get crowds in photos!

Shawn Hook

The 2016 July Concerts kept the momentum from June. Being a piano student for most of my life, it was fun to see a piano on the stage. Shawn Hook had a powerful voice to accompany his keyboarding talent.

Magic

With one of the biggest hits of the summer, Magic had a large crowd out on the Plaza. During their performance, I went up to the roof. To illustrate how large the crowd was, this gave the best angle. Moreover it added to the variety of crowd photos from this series.

Colton Dixon

To close out the concert series, Colton Dixon really wowed the crowds! 91.9 WGTS always packs the space, and this performance added a lot of effects with lighting and smoke. I look forward to see how they can top this next summer!

Last month, the 2016 June Concerts on the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center started again! The Macerich team had me cover these to illustrate the community that they are building there. Luckily the nice weather, and the awesome musicians brought out the crowds!

The Legwarmers

Local 80’s cover band, the Legwarmers was the first concert that I photographed. Since they are local, and put on a phenomenal stage show, the Plaza was packed! The familiar songs, and their musicianship was so much fun to capture. Jen Richer from 94.7 Fresh FM was there to introduce the band, and join in the 80’s musical celebration.

Rachel Platten

Undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of the 2016 June Concerts series was Rachel Platten. On this occasion, she had a couple of hits playing on the radio. Moreover, she was scheduled to sing the National Anthem at the MLB All Star game the following weekend! Having such an enthusiastic crowd makes it easy to get dynamic crowd photos.
