Friday night's Old Gold Weekend Union Board concert featuring Chiddybang, Audiodax and Fedel drew an audience of over 400 to Kresge Auditorium.
Despite Halloween festivities, Greek Street Trick-or-Treat and Old Gold Weekend events, co-president of Union Board Peter Haigh wrote in an email that it was a large turnout. Over 400 tickets were sold.
"Students seemed excited to be there, and the crowd responded positively to the performances," Haigh wrote.
Haigh wrote that Union Board was pleased with how smoothly the event went and that the audience seemed to enjoy both the performances and the free raffle prizes.
"I thought it was a great turnout for the Union Board," said sophomore Vishal Motwani. "There was a good sized crowd and a nice stage."
While Union Board say the concert went well, it hopes the spring concert will be an even bigger success. The student organization plans to sell more tickets and find artists that will appeal to a larger number of students.
"I didn't go because I'm trying to cut down on my spending, and I just wasn't interested enough in the performers to go," said sophomore Ali Sullivan.
Other complaints about the concert included a poor choice of venue and a poor choice of date, as many students did not attend because of sports or other conflicting campus activities.
"I'd say the only downfall of the concert was the location," Motwani said. "I thought the seating in Kresge was awkward."
Union Board has already begun planning the spring concert and anticipates that it will be successful.
"We hope to capitalize on this energy to fuel further excitement for the much anticipated spring concert," Haigh said.
Students' opinions are also being taken into account for the planning of future concerts. A campus-wide survey was sent out recently and nearly a quarter of students responded.
"I would love to see someone like Jack Johnson come to DePauw," Sullivan said. "I would definitely go to that."
