Provo » Hannah Schofield is already psyched up for the Fourth of July's Stadium of Fire.

Hannah, 9, and her friends are prepared to get into LaVell Edwards Stadium to see The Jonas Brothers perform at the annual Independence Day show. "I'm going to do what it takes to scream my head off for them," the Lindon resident said. "I screamed for Miley Cyrus."

Cyrus headlined the show last year, selling out the stadium in fewer than two hours.

Brad Pelo, the show's executive producer, is hoping a recession won't stop The Jonas Brothers from at least meeting that record when tickets go on sale Friday.

"It will be interesting to see what impact the economy will have on people buying tickets," Pelo said, who also announced that conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck will be the show's master of ceremonies for the third year.

Pelo said long-time Stadium of Fire fans were offered tickets last week. The special sale, which has closed, was a response to complaints last year that local supporters lost seats to scalpers and Cyrus fans, he said.

Pelo predicts that this year's show will be the biggest in its 29-year history. In addition to The Jonas Brothers, there will be hundreds of dancers on the field, as well as the fireworks. The show will be televised overseas on the American Forces Network to soldiers, marines and sailors.

Speaking in a video shown to reporters, Kevin Jonas said he and his brothers were looking forward to the show. "It's actually America's greatest patriotic party," Jonas said.

As far as talk-show host Glenn Beck's role is concerned, Pelo said this will likely be Beck's last year. His new Fox News Channel show demands too much time.

And Richard Davis, Utah County Democratic Party chairman, sees that as good news.

Davis believes selecting Beck gives the community celebration a distinct Republican flavor, and said Beck's future replacement should be someone who will make the event less political.
