‘Proms in the Hangar’
RAF Shawbury Proms Night Celebration
True to the SASS mantra, we moved from initial concept to delivery with months of planning and meticulous attention to detail. Liaising closely with the RAF's Major, we engineered a bespoke audio-visual solution tailored to the unique acoustics of a wide, industrial space.
720 Guests | 11 Crew Members | 3-Day Build
To manage the complexity, we hand-picked a specialist team of eleven engineers and lighting designers. Given the military setting, our logistics had to be flawless. We synchronized our technical "script" with the RAF’s precise timings, ensuring every lighting cue and audio transition hit with frame-perfect accuracy.
The Technical Delivery
● Immersive Audio: We deployed a "surround audio" system with calculated time delays, ensuring 720 guests experienced crystal-clear sound simultaneously, regardless of their seating rank.
● Atmospheric Lighting: A massive installation of tiered lighting, star cloths, and glitter balls transformed the hangar. We utilized architectural uplighting to hide the industrial infrastructure, creating a seamless "glamour" aesthetic.
● Complex Management: From managing solo pianists to spotlighting moving dinosaurs, our team provided end-to-end event management, including a full-scale dress rehearsal to guarantee a glitch-free performance.
The evening was a spectacular fusion of music and motion. We delivered a high-impact stage, a 40-piece mic’d orchestra, and a dynamic light show that exceeded expectations.
