On Friday night, June 20th, Boost Mobile RockCorps’ national youth movement concert tour made a stop at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Universal Studios’ City Walk.

The concert was organized by Boost Mobile RockCorps (BMRC) to reward thousands of young people for their service to the Los Angeles community.

While I was backstage I talked with one of the organizers for the concert and they are going to be starting RockCorps concert over in the U.K.

So it was exciting to know that in the future even more entertainers will be supporting and rewarding kids who help out in their communities.

Just a quick refresher - we told you guys about this concert last week - with headliners including musical acts like Akon and Puddle of Mudd.

Well, it turns out that Boost Mobile had a few more surprises for the crowd Friday night!

Busta Rhymes and Spliff Starr showed up and performed a few songs.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (The Hills) also came out to show their support for the volunteers, and Heidi joined host Tracy Morgan on stage to help introduce the acts. I don’t know how many people actually knew who she was (or even cared) because I saw a lot of curious/confused looks when she came on stage.

But even though I joke about the audience not knowing who Heidi was, it really was great to see all these celebrities come out to show support for such a great cause.

It was definite that many of the kids RockCorps members look up to people like Common, Juicy J, DJ Paul, and Three 6 Mafia, and to have their idols thanking them for their hard work is something you don’t see often, and will resonate with them.

Not only were all the famous people kind enough to perform backstage, they were all really nice to the press backstage.

They took time out either before or after their performance (and some even both times) to pose for pictures, and talk about why they think the BMRC is important.

There was one universal answer throughout the night from everyone- volunteering and helping the community is important, and it’s necessary to teach these values to people at a young age.

Needless to say, I had a lot of fun.

The concert was so awesome– Akon was the best of the night in my opinion. He jumped off the stage and was singing in the crowd…

It was the high energy that kept the crowd pumped and excited until the end of the night.

Personally, there is nothing greater than a celebrity using their star power and influence to support a good cause. And I think the audience members felt the same.
