SkyCity - Starlight Symphony 2006

Last minute practice for our CEO ...

Oceania are proud to have once again been involved in the 2006 SkyCity Starlight Symphony. This year was different mind you, our CEO Truman Peacocke was attempting a World first; mixing live on two Midas consoles simultaneously for over three hours without a toilet break, no mean feat when you're not even three! Seen here practicing some of his deft moves under the watchful eye of another Oceania Engineer, Truman has always loved a challenge. Usually he's more at home on Digital consoles, but Truman rose to this event in style and the rest as they say, is history!

Apart from our LED Super Screen, some of the audio equipment we used included Electrovoice X-Line Speakers, Oceania CLP-12 Speakers, Oceania T12 Speakers, two Oceania utility racks, six C-Audio racks, six Oceania Tri-amp racks, four Oceania Bi-amp racks, a couple of Distro's, miles of cable, and endless microphones (ask Truman!)

An estimated 200,000 people turned out for this year s Starlight Symphony in the Auckland Domain. All funds raised during the evening have gone to Variety - The Children's Charity. The concert was also supported by Auckland City, Giltrap Motor Group and of course Mercury Energy.

N ot counting Tom's Café staff, Oceania's talented crew on deck included: Truman Peacocke, Greg Peacocke, Chris Gillies, James MacKenzie, Heath Barlow, Neil Heathcote, Byron Connew, Peter Crawford and Tom Gillies. There's probably others too ... you'll know who you are!
