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!

         

Mac Macanally show in Bay St. Louis

Try to stay on top of our blog… This past Weds on Sept 11th we were honored to be a part of the Reef Pac party.  The event was hosted by David Baria and featured Cary Hudson and Mac Macanally.  We provided some room lighting

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.

So here we are at the end of August and where have we been?  Well how about the Carl Legett Fishing Rodeo and Bikini Contest in Biloxi, MS or Tab Benoit at Crickets Honky Tonk?

So that puts us going into September… Stay tuned many great things to come this fall/winter.  We’ll keep the blog updated a little more sorry 🙂

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…

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.

Snowflakes and Sugarplums

So I’ve been a little behind on updating the blog here……

On Dec 15, 2012 BNP turned the Depot District of Bay St. Louis, MS into a winter wonderland.  We had lighting on the ice rink with moving snowflakes, made the Depot building glow blue, and had a grand concert with Vince Vance and the Valiants on the Silver Slipper Stage.  I’ll keep this post short and let the pictures do the talking.  The overall success of the event was tremendous a steady flow of people great food and good music.  Put on by the Main Street of Bay ST. Louis and the Tourism Commission as well as countless others who volunteered and contributed to the event.

BNP working with Daniel Lozada of Gulf South Productions transformed the BSL Depot District

Pocket Tyme @ The 100 Men Hall

This past weekend BNP as always provided production for The 100 Men Hall show.  This time it was Pocket Tyme with Cornell Williams and Big D Perkins.  This was the grooviest, funkiest band I’d heard in a long long time.  While the show went as usual the band had hired a professional film crew to do some promo work for them.  ABIS Productions setup and videoed the entire night and we provided them with the audio.  We utilized the Presonus Studiolive 24.4.2 console and tracked each instrument individually for better post processing.  The result was amazing.  Check out the videos and links below.

Come check out a Hall show, show some support for ABIS and BNP and help spread the word!

St. Clement of Rome Oyster Festival and St. Matthews Family Fair

BNP got the call once again to assist The Sound Source for a weekend.  We headed over to METREE for the St. Clement of Rome Oyster Festival.  What a weekend.  First off FOH is right by Dragos booth so we get to smell all this wonderful cooking all weekend.  Second great bands each night.  Friday night Bag of Donuts, Saturday The Chee Weez and Sunday The Topcats (seems like we’re seeing these guys alot)  Weather was great all weekend not too cold, Friday night BOD hit the stage and were rocking as always.  Saturday The Chee Wheez killed it as well.  Now before we go on I need to mention Saturday the opening band was phenomenal  The NOLA Treblemakers;  If you need a band for an event these guys put on a show.  Rockabilly music for 2 hours straight with a great stage presence.  Outstanding job guys!!!  Got to meet some new people that weekend and make new friends and even learned a few tricks from Brian and Danny 🙂 Can’t wait for next year!

I say once again we got the call because a few weeks prior to that we were doing another festival for The Sound Source.  St. Matthews Family Fair, with The Topcats (these guys again lol)  Five Finger Discount and an upcoming band highlight on Sunday.  The weekend went great and again awesome food.  I’m learning something about these LA festivals, they know good food is key.
The past few posts have been short because I’ve been super busy.  Just trying to catch ya’ll up on what BNP has been up too the past couple months.  I’ll try to stay on top of it better next time!  🙂
