Tonight we travelled to BYU to attend Honors Night. It is a welcome orientation for incoming freshman. Why were we going you ask? To meet David Betterman! Shae Hunsaker was working on this program all summer and David Betterman was none other than our very own B-rad Robins! We didn't know what to expect but thought we would go to support both of them. Besides we could check out where our season football tickets were after the show!
When we arrived at the set (Marriott Center) the band was playing.
David Betterman made his grand entrance and after doing the BYU "Top 10" settled in behind his desk to interview his guests. He interviewed a variety of the school leadership and they discussed issues new students might face concerning the honor code such as: cheating, dress standards, dating challenges, etc. After each segment David would break for commercial and the 'Honor Code Angels" would drive home the point of the interview.
A one-on-one photo with Cosmo the Cougar. Only a celebrity the caliber of David Betterman and the show's director were given this opportunity.
David was sporting new BYU cufflinks on his french cuff shirt! A nice detail.
A close up shot of David's note cards. David only had a script for the top 10 portion of the show, the remainder was spontaneous! I was amazed by his level of energy, poise in front of the camera, and the way he engaged the audience and the guests.
Up close and personal with David on the set.
David interviews Kevin and Shae, the program director after the show.
After the show the four of us walked over to the football stadium to check our our season football seats.and the new video scoreboards. The freshmen were forming a human "Y". It was impressive to watch it form and then watch "the wave" start at the bottom, travel to the top and then back down to the bottom of the Y. Thanks for a wonderful night Brad and Shae--we truly are a "Better Man and Better Woman" for having attended!
