I'm so excited for this coming Saturday, as I will be taking my girlfriend to Orlando to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert. All shows in Florida sold out pretty quickly, but thankfully I was able to grab us a couple of seats. This year's tour is called "Ghosts of Christmas Eve." I've never seen the Trans Siberian Orchestra perform live before, but I've always heard how incredible the performance is. So I'm very excited to finally be going.
They are performing two shows on Saturday, one at 2:30pm and the other at 7:00pm. We got tickets to the early show, with plans to head to Disney World right after the concert to continue our holiday festivities.
Have any of you ever seen the Trans Siberian Orchestra live before? If so, how'd you like it? And is there a particular dress code?
Photo is of the grand Christmas tree at the Fort Wilderness Lodge at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. It's one of my favorite Christmas trees at Disney (with the one at Animal Kingdom Lodge being a close second).

That’s awesome. It means TSO put on a great show if your parents went back the following year. That’s a good sign I’ll have a good time and enjoy the show.

I actually did make it to one of their concerts with my aunt before she passed away. She always wanted to see them and they were in St. Louis, so she bought tickets and I took her. She absolutely loved it and said it was a memory she wouldn't ever forget.
We worried about a dress code for that, too. But we found out from someone that it evidently didn't matter. It was winter and cold, so we wore dark long pants, a pullover sweater, and our coats. She was in a wheelchair and got cold very easily and couldn't have managed being so cold in a dress, and we fit in just fine. We saw a few tuxedos, and we saw a lot of jeans and ordinary shirts. It should be fine, whatever you pick to wear--just wear something, OK? Don't go telling us they wouldn't let you in because you ''forgot'' your clothes!!

I watched some of their concert videos, and I didn’t see people overly dressed up. I didn’t see jeans and t-shirts, either.
Enjoy your holiday, sounds like you’re going to have a great one!

We’re going to Disney World after the show, so we want to dress appropriately for both the concert and the theme park.

They were phenomenal. Can’t wait to see them again next year. And I plan on splurging for tickets next time to get the best seats possible.

@just4him It was like nothing I’ve seen before! And that’s saying a lot, because I’ve been to hundreds of concerts over my lifetime. This was by far the best I’ve ever seen.

No. I have never been to one. I might have to look for one this year if a new Twilight in concert doesn't happen.

@JESSY3236 I was never a big Twilight fan, but I'm glad you really enjoyed it, and I hope for your sake they do a second one.

That's a lovely tree. I've never seen the orchestra live...only in videos. I'm glad you got tickets.

@LindaOHio I've heard a few of their songs, mainly the popular ones they play on the Christmas radio stations.

Ooh, I didn’t think about checking out videos of them. I’ll have to look them up on YouTube before I go to the concert on Saturday.
I agree with you, the tree is so beautiful.

For decades I have wanted to see them, and just never had the opportunity. And this year, they are playing in three cities close by where I live, so I just knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

It's a heavy metal/hard rock band with an orchestra that plays Christmas music. That's the best way I can describe it. It was incredible.

I've been to hundreds of concerts in my lifetime, of all types of genres, and this show was by far the best concert I've ever seen. And it was long, over two and a half hours. We definitely got our money's worth.

@lovebuglena I know the song g you are talking about. It’s called Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24, and is their most famous song. They played it as their final encore song at the concert and just blew everyone away.

@moffittjc I would see them if they came to NYC. I love their song that’s played during Christmas time. I forget the name.
