 For the first game of the 2007 World Series at Fenway Park, BL&S was asked to mic the Boston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Williams, for their performance of the National Anthem in center field.
Skillfully miking an entire orchestra for entry and exit of the field within minutes presented some unique logistical and technical challenges. The solution: use a completely wireless microphone system. To ensure that no sound interference occurred with the performance and the broadcast, BL&S coordinated wireless microphones and in-ear frequencies with the local and national television networks.
BL&S' recent major renovations in 2006 to the park's sound system positively aided in the end result: Fenway Park became a world class symphony hall of its own.
During the previous 2004 World Series and ALCS, many performers, including Boston's own Steven Tyler and James Taylor, treated 34,000 Red Sox fans to their renditions of the National Anthem. BL&S provided audio support for this pre-game entertainment.
In addition to installing and monitoring the audio equipment, BL&S overcame numerous technical challenges associated with live broadcast and performance. For instance, the lengthy time delay from the main loudspeaker cluster to the performer at home plate necessitated the use of in-ear monitors to assist the performer's concentration so they would not become distracted by the echo effect.
This freed the performers to focus on entertaining fans during what was to be one of the most memorable championship series at Fenway. Request an Estimate  Download Client List
