BANDIT LIGHTS UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE GRADUATION CEREMONY

Knoxville, TN- Bandit Lites lit the University of Tennessee fall graduation ceremony, which took place in late-December of last year at the newly renovated Thompson-Boling Arena.

Lighting Designer, Shawn Beaulieu chose to use Martin MAC 2000 Profiles and Performances, MAC 600s, and ETC Source Fours to light the event. Lighting was controlled by a Whole Hog II.

The primary lighting objective was to highlight the brass band and procession. Additionally, Martin MAC 2000 Performances were used to provide an animated stage background. Custom glass gobos with the UT logo were projected onto the center screen. Beaulieu also added a water effect behind the UT logo using animation wheels.
Large projection screens with live footage of the event were added to either side of the stage.

Beaulieu, who has recently toured with international superstars such as The Moody Blues and Ben Harper, commented, “It’s always fun to get the opportunity to light local events in between tours.”
