Abstract:
What’s a parade without a little music, a few marching bands, some famous performers, and the ever-present clowns? They abound at the Macy*s Parade, a tradition reaching back to 1924! Today, NBC broadcasts the three-hour live event in HDTV and surround sound. We’ll learn how a team of audio technicians based at three locations capture and transmit the excitement of “America’s Parade” to millions each year. Technical expertise, musical savvy, back-up plans, and a little history will be discussed by Senior Audio Mixer Ed Greene, Music Director Milton Delugg, Music Playback Engineer Joel Spector, Sound Effects Engineer Dick Maitland, and Commercial Integration Mixer Bob Palladino. Portions of the 2006 broadcast will be shown at the session. Moderated by Joel Spector.
