Update #5: And we're back!

Posted on October 18, 2011

After an inexcusably long hiatus, we've returned to follow up on our promise! Remember those thank you postcards you're going to recieve? Well all we need is an address to send em to. 

So here's how we'll do it:

If you'd still like your thank you postcard, please email your mailing address to:

jbowhers@gmail.com

And you should expect a card within the month. 

AND...if you're one of the lucky individuals who has qualified for a personal video serenade, please email jbowhers@gmail.com with the header "SERENADE ME" and you should expect a little gift in your inbox before too long.

Happy hunting!

John & Ben

Posted on September 14, 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to say that we have gone above and beyond our $700 goal! You all have been incredibly generous and every dollar is like a tiny world of love to us.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy all your fabulous incentives, BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE SHOW! 

We can't wait to see you all there, and hope that you will tell your friends, loved ones, heck, even complete strangers, to come spend the evening with us in the Catawba Theatre on the UNCSA campus this Friday and Saturday evening. 

Again, endless thanks, and we will wait with bated breath (from the diaphragm of course) to sing for you all this weekend!

Love,

John & Ben

The United States Institute for Theatre Technology, Inc. (USITT) connects performing arts design and technology communities to ensure a vibrant dialog among practitioners, educators, and students.

The organization includes students as well as practicing and retired professionals in the technical entertainment business. UNCSA is proud to have one of the 25 “Student Chapters” in the country affiliated with USITT. Each year, students from UNCSA raise money to attend the annual conference and exposition.

Since 1961 USITT has held an annual conference to bring together its members for a week of learning and sharing. The first year brought everyone to The Juilliard School, in recent years the conference has been held in Texas, Ohio, Florida, and also Canada. In 2012 we will all be “Catching the wave” to Long Beach, CA as we hope to attend the festival yet again.

By attending the conference we are able to stay present as active members of this great organization, as well as spread awareness for school. During the week in Long Beach faculty and staff will interview prospective students as current students offer insight into our program. We also participate in the “USITT Tech Olympics” which require students from all the schools to display their abilities in knot tying, light hanging, sound installation, and many more.
