Obviously, the biggest production we facilitated this week was the Greenfield High School Music Parents' Association's annual telethon on Wednesday evening. Our station manager was here before 10am to ensure that load-in could start on time and setup could begin. Parents and some students were here throughout the day creating the set, running cable, and doing soundchecks. Between 4pm and 5pm the bulk of the crew and performers arrived along with host for the evening Greenfield Town Councilor, and WHAI General Manager, Dan Guin. Once the telethon began at 6pm it was music and fundraising until 9PM. The GHS Jazz Band opened the show followed by solo performers and then the GHS Select Choir. You can see more footage from the telethon, and find out how you can add to the $7000 that was raised, when you check out the short video on our homepage.
Greenfield Middle School's Music Department also gave a performance this week that we recorded. Our staff would like to send out big thanks to volunteers Tom and Jal who took cameras over to GMS' auditorium on Thursday night to film their Spring concert. Our staff will be editing the two feeds together and we'll air it on Friday, March 11th, at 6pm.
Finally, we'd like to take a moment to update you on Greenfield's 2011 election process. Candidates were certified this week and we will begin contacting them on Monday in order to add their information to the local election page on our website. Because three people were certified to run for the At-Large seat on the town council, and given the state of the economy, there will be a special council meeting in our studio at 6pm on Monday to petition the state legislature to allow Greenfield to bypass a preliminary election and put everyone on the June ballot. We'll be putting together a short video soon letting you know who the candidates are, and their information will go live on our website one month prior to any election, so make sure to keep an eye on gctv.org.
That's it for this week. Have a great weekend.
