For the second year in a row the Pacific-Crest Youth Arts Org Drum & Bugle Corps has approached us to help with their parking lot at the Rose Bowl on July 1st. You may recall last year we could not assist due to a conflict with the Corona 4th of July Fireworks event. Corona moved their fireworks show to the Saturday prior to July 4th which saved them $72,000 in stage setup, etc. provided them by a major event sponsor they have. Looking at the web it appears this year will repeat that process to save money again. I don't blame them when it is that size of funds they are saving. The 2D Instructional Animation explainer videos have been growing in popularity to be a highly effective marketing tool. We were referred by the Savanna Band Festival coordinator again this year. One difference is that Pacific-Crest YAO was watching us this time last November and apparently approved our professionalism and expertise. I also agree with that professionalism and the standards we exhibit.
