Meeting the Gentlemen of Honor Society

Lynsey By on

The USA Pear family and some lucky contest winners (there’s still time for you, too – visit www.usapears.org to enter to win) got to experience the opportunity of a lifetime last week when Honor Society came to Portland to open up for the Jonas Brothers’ world tour.  Soundcheck with one of the hottest bands in the country?  Meet and greet with our favorite new group?  Both bands and an American Idol winner live in concert?  We got to enjoy all of the above.

The afternoon began with a short wait in the “VIP” line outside the Rose Garden arena in Portland.  With the necessary bracelets in place, we joined a select group of screaming girls for the Jonas Brothers soundcheck “party.”  The boys sang 3 songs and sounded great – and it was really cool to experience soundcheck – how often does anyone get that kind of opportunity?

Afterwards, we went backstage for our meet and greet with Honor Society.  The guys were as awesome and friendly as they had been the day before – they introduced themselves to each and every one of us and posed for pictures, including this one with all of the USA Pear staff that were in attendance – welcome to the USA Pear family, guys!  (Notice the USA Pear logo on the backdrop – all that was missing was the red carpet!)

Following the photo ops and Honor Society trivia came the waiting around for the show to begin.  Being a VIP is not always as glamorous as it seems!  But the show to come was well worth the wait.  And they even played the video for “Tastes Like PEARadise” on the jumbotron as we waited – I sang along at the top of my lungs!

Honor Society played an awesome set of 4 songs and totally rocked the Rose Garden – everyone was singing and dancing along, including yours truly!  The guys even gave a USA Pears shoutout to the huge crowd – watch below and meet the guys of Honor Society as they introduce themselves.

The concert continued with Jordin Sparks and the Jonas Brothers.  I had a blast, and I know I wasn’t the only one.  Don’t forget that you can still enter to win the same opportunity – you don’t want to miss it, it’s truly an evening to remember!

About Lynsey

I work with USA Pear marketing offices that work in 38 countries all over the world: from Latin America to the Middle East, from Europe to Southeast Asia and places in between, our representatives serve markets on every continent except Antarctica. I love the opportunity to practice my Spanish and pick up new phrases in other languages (even if it’s just the basics of “hello,” “goodbye,” “thank you” and of course “pear”: pera, birne, гру́ша [GROO-sha], and more to come). I’ll be sharing highlights of the exciting and interesting activities that are taking place to promote USA Pears around the world. My favorite pear variety is Comice. Yum!

  1. Ah. That was so much fun.

    I think I saw all those people there.
    Or maybe the day before at Albertsons. It was a great time.
    The boys are magnificant.

    And thank you USA Pears for setting up two meet and greets for me and my friends. It rocked, no duh. 🙂

  2. Did you get to meet Honor Society, Jordin, and The Jonas Brothers.
    Or is this just for Honor Society.
    And is the soundcheck for just HS?
    Thankyou!

  3. Hi, I won your contest to meet the gentlemen in Montreal, but i’m not able to see the picture with them. When I try to see it, it says that i’ve got the wrong password. I tried a lot of times, but it always say the same thing.

    BTW thank you USA Pears for giving me the chance to meet HS! It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! 😉

    Sorry for my english, i’m french…
