On the ground

This work in Rapid City

Rapid City hosts most of the region's conferences, banquets, and award nights, and those rooms are built for it. What changes is your program. A chamber banquet with a keynote and a long award list runs nothing like a holiday party that turns into a dance floor at nine. We build from your run of show, keep someone at the board all night, and leave a wired mic live at the podium so the presenter who fumbles a handoff never becomes the thing people remember.

Conditions in Rapid City

Rapid City has the widest range of rooms in the region, so the plan changes a lot from job to job. A conference hotel ballroom is a different night than a downtown space or an open air plaza, and we spec from your actual room rather than from a standard package. The thing worth knowing about Saturdays here is that the good rooms turn over back to back, so our load in window is a real one and we work to it. Summer books out early because tourist season and wedding season land on top of each other, and the first two weeks of August belong to the rally in every direction. We are based here, so travel is not a line on your quote.

What is included

What you get

Banquets, award nights, conferences, and holiday parties. We run the audio, the playback, and the program cues off your run of show, with a tech at the board for the whole event instead of a system left running unattended.

  • Podium and lectern audio with a hardwired backup microphone
  • Wireless handhelds and lavaliers for presenters and award recipients
  • Playback for video, sizzle reels, and walk in music
  • Laptop and HDMI patch into house or rented projection
  • Background music through dinner and networking, at a level that allows conversation
  • Program cues run from your printed run of show
  • Award and auction support, including a dedicated microphone for the auctioneer
  • A dance floor DJ after the program when the night calls for one
  • A technician at the board for the entire event
  • Load in, setup, and strike scheduled around the venue's requirements

How we work

Our approach

01

We work from your run of show

Corporate events live or die on the program. Send us the run of show and we build the audio and playback plan around it: who is speaking when, which video plays where, when the lights need to come down, and where the gaps are that music has to cover. If you do not have one yet, we will help you build it.

02

We plan for the microphone getting handed around

Award nights mean a microphone moving between people who have never held one. We set gain for that, keep a hardwired podium microphone live as a backup, and put a second wireless in the room so a dead battery is an inconvenience instead of a stoppage. Somebody on our crew is watching the handoffs all night.

03

We staff the board the whole time

Set it and leave it works until a presenter walks away from the podium or a video comes in twelve decibels hot. We keep a technician at the board from the first announcement to the last, because the whole point of hiring production is that somebody is paying attention when something changes.
