Event: Awards Event
Client: Barking and Dagenham Council
Venue: Castle Green School Hall

Brief

To provide audio, visuals and lighting for a staff awards event. The event was held in a school hall that normally is quite bare and has standard on or off lighting that was not ideal for a formal dinner setting.

Solution

Audio

The schools mixing desk was up on a balcony which was not an ideal location so we provided our own audio control desk and were able to operate it from a more suitable position. We then patched into the schools amplifier and speaker system.
A requirement was to have some punchy sting music for as people went to receive their awards. We provided some additional sub speakers to give the music a little more punch!
A band provided the after dinner entertainment so we proved musicians foldbacks and microphones.
In addition a hand held radio mics were provided for the presenters and a lectern microphone for speeches.

Visuals

A projector and screen was already installed in the venue.
A monitor screen by the lectern was provided so the presenters could see the screen without turning.
We provided a laptop with the prepared on screen presentation of the awards which included the nominees and winners names as they were announced.

Lighting

The school already had lighting bars, cable infrastructure built in so we only needed to provide the lights and the control desk.
Dimmable floodlights were used to control the general lighting in the hall.
Stars were projected around the hall and the council logos projected onto the front walls.
Stage lighting was provided for the presenters and the entertainment band.
Moving effects lighting were used while the band were performing.
