July 2011
We have been very busy with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension these past few weeks. We have uploaded new features to their website dealing with seasonal plantings of garlic and strawberries, plus what to do to take care of your lawn and yard. July is also our month to record the Pierre Monteux School for Conductors symphony and chamber music concerts. We have 12 this season, which wraps up on July 31st with their annual pops concert. Four weddings this month along with the Bossov Ballet's production of Swan Lake on July 29th and 30th. We are also in pre-production for the Black Bear Insider, UMaine's half hour tv program that hits the air in September.
June 2011
Halfway through the busy month of June here and we've done lots of different projects and events. Our cameras explored new bio-diesel technology in the labs at the University of Maine and Maine Maritime Academy. We have recorded the class night and graduation ceremonies of John Bapst Memorial High School in Bangor, Woodland High School in Baileyville and Hermon High School.
We are wrapping up our dance recitals with MADE Saturday June 18th. In the past few weeks, we have taped Peter Pan and the British Invasion for Thomas School of Dance, Turn Up the Radio for Morita's School of Dance and the Northern Lights Spring dance recital.
Colby College legendary coach Dick Whittemore is retiring after 40 years on Friday June 17th. We will be there for a two day celebration of his career recording the event. Lots of players that he has coached over the years will be on hand and it should be a lot of fun.
We set up microphones for the upcoming 12 concert series for the Pierre Monteux School for Conductors in Hancock. For the fourth year in a row, we will be recording all concerts, from which each conductor will get an edited DVD of their work. Furthermore, we are working with MPBN radio's Barry Darling, who produces Mainly Music. Selected symphony concerts will be aired throughout the year. Production starts June 26th and runs until the end of July.
