Conditions Pop Punk Lighting at the Canal Club in Richmond, Virginia

Conditions Anniversary Show

Local pop-punk legends Conditions reunited on the 5th anniversary of their album Florescent Youth. Richmond, Virginia locals that are familiar with the band might have attended their disbandment show at the National in Richmond in July of last year, where The Lighting & Sound Co. provided concert lighting, giving the band a proper send-off. We once again coordinated with Conditions, in association with Syke, on their anniversary show to provide a show four times as big.

Save Sweet Briar

April 30th, 2015

Thursday, we rolled out to Sweet Briar, Virginia to provide lighting and sound for the Sweet Tone’s final concert. The Sweet Tones are a talented a cappella group from Sweet Briar College, and sadly, due to the school closing after this semester, this was their last show. We were honored to be able to provide a memorable last show to these ladies, and really enjoyed working with them to make this show happen.

The Lighting and Sound Co. provides lighting, sound, and video for corporate events, weddings, meetings, parties, and many other events, but this was the first rig we’ve setup in a library. The event took place in Sweet Briar College’s Kitty Corbett reading room, and with our LED concert rig we were able to power the entire show off 40 amps, while still making the show pack a punch.

The Sweet Tones performed everything from their school song to “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift.

The Sweet Tones drew quite a crowd, and put on a great show. We send our sympathy and best wishes to everyone with ties to the school during these tough times, and we hope that we were able to help memorialize an event so important to these girls.

The entire rig was able to operate off of 40 amps.

The Rig:
12 x Elation Design Wash 60s

Concert Production: Kings Dominion

The Lighting & Sound Co. was hired to provide a turnkey lighting and sound package for Disney channel star Debby Ryan as she performed at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. We worked with Backstage Richmond to create a suitably sized rig for this show. It took a crew of 20 around 12 hours to complete setup on the entire rig.

Kingswood Amphitheater can seat more than 7000 people.

As one of the most watched young stars in the business today, Ryan has become known for her unmatched comedic timing, flexibility to give powerful dramatic performances, and the ability to illuminate television and film screens. Some of Ryan’s incredible career highlights include starring on the smash hit Disney Channel Original Series “Jessie” since 2011 and also holds producer and director credits on the show. She also Starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie, “Radio Rebel,” which premiered to over 6 million viewers. In addition to starring in the movie, Ryan contributed to three songs on the soundtrack, including “We Got The Beat,” “A Wish Comes True Every Day,” and “We Ended Right.”
