So you want tickets to tonight’s Reel Big Fish concert in Ames?
Too bad. The only people who are going to be rocking out tonight in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union are people who volunteered at least 10 hours of their time to a central Iowa community service agency.
The concert, hosted by students at Drake University and Iowa State University, is one of three 10,000 Hours Shows scheduled across the Midwest this month. The 10,000 Hours Show concept, which gives people free concert tickets for doing community service, started at the University of Iowa in 2003 and has spread to Wisconsin, Arizona and Texas.
“It’s been really exciting, watching the whole thing grow,” said Tanya Bruskewitz, a senior at the University of Wisconsin at Madison
