Hilliard Davidson High School

proVanceTek owner, Robert Vance, created a video while in high school to accompany a song that his choir performed at an annual choir concert.

This year, the Hilliard Davidson High School Vocal Music Department decided to create a one time only tribute performance, “A Patriotic Salute”, in honor of our Veterans.

The performance was on Sunday, March 7 at 3pm in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center and featured the Men’s Concert Choir, Women’s Concert Choir, Symphonic Chorus, Boys in Blue, Blue Ladies and Senior Choir.

A Military Honor Guard presented the Colors and the program concluded with a video tribute while the Senior Choir performed Peter Wilhousky’s “the Battle Hymn of the Republic”. This was the video that Robert Vance created some ten years ago. proVanceTek resurrected the video and retouched it, as the original was VHS and had started to deteriorate.

A dessert reception in honor of our Veterans followed immediately after the performance, catered by Abner’s Restaurant.

Today proVanceTek delivered fifty DVD copies of The Columbus Chorus of Sweet Adelines December 2009 concert. The concert was held in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center. proVanceTek was hired to record the concert in High Definition, master the DVD, and duplicate fifty copies for members of the organization.

proVanceTek offers video production services to small businesses and organizations in the Central Ohio area. We offer recording, mastering, and duplication services in both live-to-tape and post-production settings.

You may recall that we worked with the Hilliard Davidson High School Symphony Orchestra in November of 2007 on a project that was to benefit concert for the children of Uganda, which are suffering from a twenty year war that has ravaged their country.

We were once again asked to assist Hilliard Davidson High School and Invisible Children with the audio design and engineering, along with the video production for their concert in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center.

Similar to the last benefit concert, we're also planning on producing a short video that will accompany the orchestra during their closing number. The montage-like video will feature still photos from Uganda, video recorder in Uganda, and artistic live video shots of the orchestra as they perform.

The concert is free of cost, but donations will be accepted to benefit the children through the care of Invisible Children Inc.

For years Hilliard Davidson High School has been contracting out jobs to temporarily run coax from their auditorium to their High School's CCTV head end. We were contracted to enable the staff to access this technology for themselves.

We took existing technology in the auditorium and in their television studio and configured it such that any video feed from their matrix switcher in their auditorium and any audio feed from their sound console in their auditorium can be sent over existing in wall wiring (installed as a part of the Ohio SchoolNet program a few years back) to their television studio. From there, a simple switch is toggled and the feed from the auditorium is instantly broadcast to the entire building.

We were asked to provide professional live sound and video production services for the Hilliard Memorial Middle School 2007-2008 School Year Awards Ceremony. The event was held in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center.

The event usually consists of the awards ceremony portion, followed by live talent show style entertainment provided by the teachers from Memorial. Due to sticky contract negotiations between the school board and Hilliard teachers, the administration of Memorial Middle School was hesitant to ask teachers to spend unpaid extracurricular time for the project. Instead, the staff (during their conference breaks, before school, and after school) created a couple entertaining videos to be played for the students at the awards ceremony.

We provided minimal post production editing services (they already had the videos pretty much ready to go live), live video production services to professionally project the video on the movie screen and broadcast the video into overflow seating areas outside the auditorium, and live audio engineering.

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.

Hilliard Davidson High School Drama Boosters launched the Davidson Theatre website with a different web hosting firm several years ago. The site design was old and clunky in appearance and was lacking a couple features that they were looking for in a website - so, they were looking to re-design the site. proVanceTek worked with Davidson Theatre to design a site similar in color scheme and layout, but with a slightly more modern feel.

Before re-designing the site, proVanceTek successfully migrated the website SQL database to the proVanceTek web server preserving all data. After the site had successfully been migrated to its new home, proVanceTek proceeded to create a new Drupal theme for the website. The new theme was released earlier today and Davidson Theatre faculty are once again happy customers!

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.

On November 28, 2007, the Chamber Orchestra at Hilliard Davidson High School held a benefit concert for the children of Uganda, which are suffering from a twenty year war that has ravaged their country.

Robert Nelson Vance, owner of proVanceTek, was asked to assist Hilliard Davidson High School and Invisible Children with the audio design and engineering, along with the video production for their concert in the Hilliard Davidson High School Performing Arts Center.

The concert was free of cost, but donations could be made to benefit the children through the care of Invisible Children Inc. The Chamber Orchestra performed songs from several classic rock bands, including the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Doors. The concert featured several videos from Invisible Children.

We produced a four minute video to accompany the orchestra and dancers for their closing arrangement of the concert. It was projected on a 30 foot tall, 50 foot wide theatrical cyclorama located upstage of the orchestra. A still frame of the projected video can be seen in the above image.

The concert was featured in the article "Dancer finds way to help Ugandan children" from ThisWeek Community Newspapers on November 27, 2007.
