Carlsbad Forum Tree Lighting

For the second year in a row, I've been called on to do audio and lighting for the tree lighting ceremony to kick off the Christmas Shopping Season at the Carlsbad Forum. My good friend Joan Burns of Sampson & Associates is the event planner and always does a fantastic job of keeping all of the moving pieces of the growing community event together, on track and on time. 2 Singers, the Carlsbad Canyon High School Marching Band was on hand as always to help make it a special night. This band is really good, they were invited by the queen to play in England this spring and their 5 song set included songs by Shakira and Lady Gaga. I mean come on! Shakira and Lady Gaga from a high school Marching band... That Rocks! No more fight songs and boring stuff that we've all seen at every high school football game since the beginning of time.
Santa and Sarah from Jack 100.7FM as the Emcee rounded out the entertainment bill. Even with my 12 years in Radio I'd never met Sarah before but she was really good at keeping the crowd involved and the night flowing from performance to performance.
I provide a 4 speaker sound system with 6 microphones and stage wash lighting to give light to the show.
