Although it is considered one of the most well-attended events on campus, not every student watches Guitars Unplugged.

For one thing, there isn’t enough seating for every BYU-Idaho student to attend Guitars Unplugged. Out of the 12,505 students who are enrolled at BYU-I, only 4,100 students can be seated in the Hart Auditorium and 900 in the Kirkham Auditorium.

If every person only showed up to one of the three shows, the maximum amount of students who could attend would be 5,900.

Not having enough seating is only one of many reasons some people don’t go to Guitars Unplugged.

Daniel Miller, a freshman from Rexburg, said he didn’t think it was worth $5 to watch the show. “If it was free it would be worth it,” Miller said.

As well-known as Guitars Unplugged is, some people might not go because they are unaware of it.

“I never knew it existed until a week ago,” said Erin Conrad, a freshman from Richland, Wash.

James Morin, a sophomore from Juneau, Alaska, said he hasn’t been to Guitars Unplugged because he doesn’t have very much spare time because of homework.

“I’m sure I’ll eventually go. A lot of my friends do,” Morin said.

Matthew Kolditz, a junior from Sugar City, Idaho, has never gone because he doesn’t enjoy the type of music they play there.

“People who go are into the no-name bands and homemade music. I’m not into that,” Kolditz said.

Maybe the most common reason for not going is that some students simply haven’t gotten around to it.

Wyatt Checketts, a sophomore from Rexburg, is one of those people.

“It sounds interesting, I have just never made it a priority. I’m not opposed to going,” Checketts said.

Jill McNiven, a junior from Pulaski, Pa., said though she plays the guitar and would like to go, she has never been available to go on the weekend of Guitars Unplugged.

If there are so many students choosing not to go to Guitars Unplugged, what is their perception of people who do go?

Melinda Stotte, a senior from West Valley City, Utah said that people who are into that kind of music go.

“I’m just not into band stuff,” Stotte said.
