wmzq fest

The WMZQ Fest Concert is all about country music. I love country music and I love Sugarland! Well, the thing about music concerts is that many people think that they can just buy tickets and show up right before the concert starts…wrong! In order to get the best out of a music concert such as the WMZQ Fest, you must be prepared.If you are being dropped off at the music concert instead of driving, than you won’t need a parking space, huh? Well, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t still arrive early. As mentioned previously, music concerts like the WMZQ Fest will have hoards of people there waiting for the gates to open. Well, it might be wise to arrive earlier than when the gates open so that you and your crew can get situated faster.
The first thing about preparedness for music concerts is arriving early for purchasing concert tickets. Sure, you are able to buy WMZQ Fest tickets online, but if you would like to save money and get a true experience on what it’s like to be a music concert junkie, camping outside the ticket booth to get your hand on great seats for a concert such as the WMZQ Fest is a great event to plan with your friends. So, remember to arrive early, bring warm clothes and enough food, and you’ll be set to camp out for the day.Well, that’s about it for concert preparedness. If you are wondering who is playing at the WMZQ Fest, Sugarland will be there along with the likes of Phil Vassar, Tracy Byrd, Laura Bryna, and Jypsi!!! What a country music line-up! This is the country event for country fanatics the US over! Washington DC, get ready to rock! Also playing in the WMZQ Fest will be Dillon James, John Luskey, and Zac Brown Band.

Chuck Daly, who coached the original Dream Team to the Olympic gold medal in 1992 after winning back-to-back NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons, has died. He was 78.He was renowned for his ability to create harmony out of diverse personalities at all levels of the game, whether they were Ivy Leaguers at Pennsylvania, Dream Teamers Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, or Pistons as dissimilar as Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars.
Doug Collins, a former Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls coach, learned the intricacies of the game from Daly.Daly humbled the NBA superstars by coaching a group of college players to victory in a controlled scrimmage weeks before the Olympics.Daly had a career regular-season record of 638-437 in 13 NBA seasons. In 12 playoff appearances, his teams went 75-51. He left Detroit as the Pistons’ leader in regular-season and playoff victories.
The National Basketball Coaches’ Association is dedicating this postseason to Daly. Coaches and many broadcasters are wearing a pin with the initials “CD” during games and created the “Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award,” which will be given annually.Despite his success, Daly wasn’t part of a Coach of the Year presentation until he handed the trophy to then-Detroit coach Rick Carlisle in 2002.

Kevin Grubb

Kevin Grubb, a former regular in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, was found dead on Wednesday at a hotel just outside of Richmond, Va., according to a report on ESPN.com. Grubb, of Mechanicsville, Va., was 31 years old. At the time of his death Grubb was suspended from competing in NASCAR sanctioned events because of his refusal to submit to a drug test in September 2006 following an event at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway. Grubb made his Nationwide Series debut at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in 1997.
Grubb was previously suspended in March 2004 for failing a drug test. But he agreed to random testing as part of his reinstatement. Grubb's career began with NASCAR's lower-tier series in 1997. He made 174 Nationwide Series starts from 1997-2006. After two part-time seasons for his family owned team in '97 and '98, Grubb was hired by Brewco Motorsports to compete in the Nationwide Series in 1999. His 13th place finish in the standings for Brewco in 2000 was a career best.
He went to Team Bristol Motorsports for the 2002 season but issues plagued the team and he finished 19th in the standings. In March 2004 Grubbs failed a NASCAR mandated drug test and was suspended indefinitely by the sanctioning body. He was reinstated by NASCAR in 2006 and returned to compete in the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series. He made five Nationwide Series starts and four Truck Series starts before he was again suspended by NASCAR. On September 11, 2006 Grubb crashed on the second lap of a Nationwide Series event at Richmond and refused to take a NASCAR mandated drug test after the accident.
