I asked 20 random LH high school students who, out of this series, they would rather see; a majority of the students said they would most rather see 3 Doors Down with Skillet following closely behind. 3 Doors Down is an American rock band that was formed in 1996 and are obviously, according to LH students, quite popular. Skillet is also an American band but instead of rock, they play Christian music; like 3 Doors Down, Skillet was formed in 1996. These two bands had the highest vote for a reason, if you don’t know if you like them or not head down to Magic Springs and check them out.

The concerts will be held in the Timberwood Amphitheater, and keep in mind that unless you get VIP tickets, you will be sitting on the ground, so be sure to bring chairs and blankets! Magic Springs & Crystal Falls: yummy food, fun rides, sunburns (which turn into super awesome tans), and best of all, the concerts all summer long! For what more could you ask? Magic Springs offers a lot to make sure you have a good time, so go down and get your Magic Springs & Crystal Falls season pass so you can go enjoy all the amazing concerts coming to the Timberwood this summer!

The 2011 season pass for Magic springs is $59.99 for a limited time when the original price is $69.99. With this, you are able to get into all ten concerts, all rides, and the water park everyday they are open during the season. For a one day pass the cost is $44.99.
