Time to get back on track for 2016!!!

So the past 2 years I haven’t updated the blog much.  We’ve been really busy and I haven’t had the time, however I plan to make it a point to keep this updated.  In 2015 we saw many new events, accomplishments and challenges!  From Discovery America, to President George W. Bush and then some.  BNP had to overcome obstacles  we’ve had not faced until now.  We did however come out strong on the other side.  We learned many important things, as well as grew our client base and let the coast know we’re here to stay.

Our new RCF line array was put to use at several large outdoor events and I’m pleased to say it performed exceptionally.  We can not wait to see how we can apply it’s many different uses to 2016 events.  

The end of 2015 brought on new areas BNP has never worked on before.  BNP is now the “Technical Director” of the Hancock County Performing Arts Center located on Stennis Airport Drive by Hancock High School.  A state of the art facility with applications for all types of events. 
Owner/Operator Aaron Lee has also take a position as FOH engineer for the New Orleans Band MoJeaux!  This is a big step for not only Aaron himself but BNP as well.  This opportunity has the potential to open up so many more markets in the future. 

 

In 2016 BNP plans to not only continue serving our great clients and community but also welcome new adventures at the same time.  Providing on the best customer service and quality possible to all of clients.  Be on the look out for BNP crews working in your area stop by and say hello they would love to talk with you.  Have a safe and happy 2016!

the stage and sound system for the event.  It was an intimate night we good food and great entertainment.  I’ll keep this post short and sweet and let the panorama pics do the talking.

Well Well Well….. We are still around!!!!!!

So it’s been since early APRIL we last posted a blog.  That’s how busy we’ve been; and loving minute of it.  So here is a post for a quick re-cap try and keep up:

So it went quickly it may.  Swamp Boogie Blues, Ocean Springs Mayfest, Helping our Friends The Sound Source in NOLA at Champions Square and other private events.  Lets not forget Bay Harbor Fest,

St. Clares Seafood Festival, and many many more!!!  We also got the Chance to work with the great Gov. of MS Phil Bryant.  All the events were great, rain or shine everyone had a good time and we look forward to seeing them again in 2014.  Working with bands like Mojeaux, Ryan Foret and Foret Tradition, Junior and Sumthin Sneaky, The UpStarts, The Dana Abbott Band and many more…  Met new people and made new friends it was an awesome month of May!!!

 

Into June with the Biloxi Fais Do Do Blessing of the Fleet with The Molly Ringwalds, helping our friends The Sound Source in Meridian with Better Than Ezra at a wedding (yes this was awesome)  the ever popular and always damp Dedeaux Bazaar, a private wedding, the Gulfport Mayor Inauguration party at Jones park  where the new Mayor Mr. Billy Hewes played the drums with his band, and the first ever Friends of McLoed Park BBQ cook off and celebration.

July was no slouch starting with the Fourth of July Weekend.  We worked with Wayne Toups and Ryan Foret in Baton Rouge with a stage on the River Levee (first for everything)  Then we went on to The OLG Crab Festival in Bay St. Louis where we met Mr. Toups again as well as The Chee Weez, Ross Grisham and The BuckTown All Stars…  We continued on into July with Gospel Palooza in Bay St. Louis which led us into August.

Hancock County Relay for Life

Sitting here at the Hancock County Relay for Life… Gorgeous day great crowd… I love the 10am-10pm idea beats 6pm-6am good job Hancock County Relay committee….

Stella BBQ and Blues

What can we say.  Another Great Pelican Events and Big Noise Productions combination.  The Crowd was amazing, the food delicious, the bands energetic, the weather beautiful.  Phil Smooth Williams started the day off with some great down home blues, the Grady Champion from Canton MS, wow’d the crowd with this soulful vocals and crowd interaction.  As always Rockin Dopsie had the crowd moving the rest of the night with Zydeco and Blues that could be heard for miles.  This is the events second year and it’s already growing into one of South MS biggest and best events on the coast!

 

Terrytown Festival

Once again we went to New Orleans to help our friends The Sound Source at a 3 day festival.  The Terrytown Festival featured 2 dueling stages provided by Pelican Events…  Bag of Donuts, Mojeaux, and many more entertained the crowd all weekend despite the weather.  The Legendary Irma Thomas with her soulful voice mesmerized the crowd on Saturday night.  She was a pleasure to work with as well as listen to.  Another great TSS event proud to be working with these guy…

Grillin On The Green

We were again called to provide production for Biloxi’s Grillin On The Green.  A Great St. Patricks Day weekend event.  Over 30 professional and amateur cooking teams compete to be the best in Q.  Great entertainment all weekend from Rochelle Harper, Rhythm and Rain Trio, as well as Barbara and Company.  Incredible crowd lots of fun an excitement for the entire family.  All festival goers were treated to the Biloxi St. Patty’s day parade as well that runs along HWY 90 right by the Town Green.

NFL Experience Superbowl 2013

I had the privilege of helping Tim Killbride and The Sound Source this past weekend with their Superbowl activities.    It was a never ending Thursday from one venue to the next, I was tired worn out but I loved every minute of it.  (Something must be wrong with me)  We turned an old gym still under construction into a corporate meeting place full of projector mapping, lighting, PA and HD power point.  From there it was onto the Howlin’ Wolf to transform this popular venue into the Coors Light Super Cold Superbowl Party with the Rebirth Brass band and Ice Cube.  It was Friday and I so had the urge to go up to him and say “It’s Friday Craig!” but I contained myself.  A long 24hrs later we’re back at the shop gearing up for the Giving Back party with Jordin Sparks and some nice cars.  I mean OMG! I didn’t want to breathe around them.  Overall a great 4 days I learned a few things, traffic wasn’t bad, not to many issues for the amount of thing happening.  Can’t wait for the next time…. NO we didn’t turn the lights off in the dome for the 100th time.  

Note:  I hate pipe and drape.
