Live From Central Park: Behind the Scenes at the SummerStage Festival
Posted on July 17, 2024
Spencer Lavoie, founder of 4Life Entertainment and Technology Solutions:
“4Life Entertainment is really excited to share the summer with SummerStage.
Central Park approached me as a potential vendor for this site approximately half a year ago.
They were looking to expand their arsenal of equipment while providing the versatility of weatherproofing.”
“We were also tasked with bringing out some more color and engagement for folks to feel a vibrant party atmosphere and setting.
The CHAUVET Professional equipment was able to offer that flawlessly.”
“We built out our rig with a Maverick Storm base.
The great thing about Maverick Storm is that I don’t have to think about anything.
I leave it up, hanging, for multiple months, and it’s a great opportunity to not have to worry about the elements.”
“Color STRIKE M brings eye candy and intensity, all in one piece of equipment.”
“We have about 70 fixtures behind us ranging from hybrids to profiles to beams from the Maverick Storm line, some STRIKE arrays, along with COLORado Panel Q40, quite a bit of uplighting around the venue, and distribution networking from CHAUVET Professional as well.”
“The CHAUVET Professional equipment gave us both power efficiency, channel efficiency, and a great price point to be able to supply everything they were looking for, all within that umbrella. As you can see, it all worked out, because here we are.”
SummerStage 2024 was also home to Dreamland Pride’s epic party.
