Hilliard Arts Council

proVanceTek provided theatrical technical services to The Greater Columbus Community Orchestra for their May 18th concert held at Hilliard Davidson High School.

As mentioned in a recent Columbus Dispatch article: "A grant from the Hilliard Arts Council will aid the oldest and largest community orchestra in central Ohio. And to signify an expansion of its mission, the Upper Arlington Community Orchestra is renaming itself the Greater Columbus Community Orchestra."

proVanceTek provided complete lighting and sound support. Hilliard Davidson Performing Arts Center provides lighting and sound equipment for use when community events take place in the facility or when the facility is rented to an outside organization, however, the facilities technical staff is usually required to be present and on the payroll as event staff. proVanceTek has been hired on occasion to act as subcontractor for such events when there is a conflict in staff scheduling.

Five By Design is one of the nation's leading performing arts and symphony pops attractions, the Minneapolis-based vocal quintet is the creative talent behind musical retrospectives of Radio Days, Club Swing, Stay Tuned, and A Winter's Evening.

The Hilliard Arts Council is bringing "Five By Design," a group of five singers for a 7:00pm February 10, 2008 performance at the Hilliard Davidson Performing Arts Center.

The Hilliard Arts Council brought in Robert Nelson Vance, owner of proVanceTek, as an outside consultant and contractor, in 2005 when Five By Design came to Hilliard the first time. He was once again asked back this year.

Several visits have already been made to Davidson Theatre to hang and focus lighting for the event. Further assistance for the upcoming Sunday evening performance will include the hanging and focusing of additional lighting instruments and the load-in and interfacing of Five By Design sound equipment.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for senior citizens and students. In order to hopefully fill the auditorium for this performance there is a $5 discount for all tickets ordered by January 20, 2007. Tickets can be ordered by calling 527-4407 or by emailing Ken Brenneman.

Robert Nelson Vance, owner or proVanceTek, received a phone call asking if we had any availability to help prepare the Hilliard Davidson Performing Arts Center for a touring show to be brought in by the Hilliard Arts Council this weekend.

Five By Design, a touring, Minneapolis-based, vocal quintet sent Hilliard Davidsona technical rider that required a significant number of lighting instruments to be hung and focused before they arrived.

We worked with the Hilliard Davidson High School Technical Director to hang and focus a GI (general illumination) light plot for the upcoming school related events. Then we hung and focused the specials that were required for the touring show.

We should make note that this is usually work that's entirely done by high school students as a part of the Hilliard Davidson technical theatre program. Unfortunately, due to time restraints and the number of other programs to schedule around, this technical work needed to be done quickly and precisely. Infact, Hilliard Davidson has hosted a number of touring Broadway shows over the years, where stagehand positions have always been entirely staffed by students. This time, however, there simply wasn't enough time available for this to be another educational experience for the students - hence why we were contacted.
