Calgary’s Mount Royal University hosted an all ages Halloween bash Saturday Oct. 31st to a sold out crowd at the Wyckham House.
Marianas Trench, The New Cities, Carly Rae Jepsen, and The Mission District performed, stopping for the night in Calgary on their Beside You Tour.
Tickets for the event were $23.50 from Ticketmaster.
The New Cities, originating from Quebec, brought a high energy performance to the stage with their electro-pop sounds. The Mission District, also originating from Quebec, fashioned zombie make-up and opened the event.
Carly Rae Jepsen and band came out as the Rice Crispie Trio, Snap, Crackle and Pop, while The New Cities came out with matching, horror-like masks.
Headliners, Marianas Trench, had an epic entrance to the stage with Josh Ramsay, lead singer, in a blue knee length dress and a blonde shoulder length wig creating a “Little Bo Peep” costume. He was also sporting some heavy stage make-up, including blush, lipstick, and foundation.
The crowd roared from the sight of Ramsay’s Halloween costume.
The other members of Marianas Trench, Mike Ayley on bass, Matt Webb on guitar and Ian Casselman on drums wore black leotards and white shirts with Velcro fluff to represent Ramsay’s “lost sheep” to complete the group costume scheme.
Attendees wore a variety of costumes, which included a Pikachu, the Teletubbies, many vampires and a few traditional witches were also present.
Aeron Mundell, 18, came to see Marianas Trench and was thrilled with the costumes that the bands came out with.
“I hadn’t heard of the other bands,” said Mundell. “But everyone’s stage presence was good. The songs were really good too.”
Mundell dressed up as a witch for the event supporting the Halloween themed bash.
“I loved the costumes, and my camera got some great documentation of them.” said Mundell, happy at capturing the night.
Mundell was situated on the balcony, and saw the show “brilliantly.”
Many kids were pulled from the mosh pit during the performances. One girl had even hit her head before quickly being pulled out along with her sister, who were later deemed fine.
“I was somewhat concerned about that, largely just wondering why so many people were being pulled out.” said Mundell.”I later learned that it was hotter than an oven down there, which made much more sense.”
Doors to the event opened around 7:30 p.m. The show ran until around 11:30 with daylight savings in consideration.
All four acts stayed to sign autographs and meet with fans following the concert. All could be found at their merchandise booths, where fans could get t-shirt, stickers, albums and pictures with the bands.
