Designer Insights:

Mark and Luke Carver, Carver Lighting Design:

“Since this is a prom, we definitely wanted to create a festive dance party atmosphere. The main room where the event is held is very large and needed coverage from a lot of angles. We need fixtures that had good color saturation and spread… Seeing the smile on the faces as the couples exit the limos and enter the red carpet is tremendous. Watching the dancing with pure joy and, of course, when each guest gets crowned Queen or King of the prom, there is definitely not a dry eye in the house.”

—Mark Carver

“We wanted a big wow moment something different from years past of the event. We decided on a 3’ mirror ball that would be hung in the middle of the room. The best moment of the night was lighting it up with Claypaky Sharpys and seeing all the faces in the room light up and be amazed.

““Bandit always has the fixtures prepped to the highest standards with quality and reliable gear. Special thanks to VP Mike Golden for donating and supplying the gear for the show as well as to Project Manager Jimmy Hatten for his great prep work of the lighting rig.”
