Hey Techs!
Yikes - With this whole COVID thing, it's been a while, right? We miss you, and miss teaming up to make awesome television with you!
While things were up in the air for a while, in the past couple days we confirmed that we ARE doing productions this fall!
Like everything else these days, fall sports are far from normal. Football and Volleyball are moved to spring, and - at the sports that ARE happening - they've got either very limited or NO spectators allowed.
So guess who gets to save the day and be the only link between teams and their lovin' fans? Yep. We Do! They've even moved all the Kennedy & Jefferson home soccer games to the stadium just so we can televise 'em. We are very excited to be back in production and to be able to do it (Safely!) together.
We'll be putting most our energy in covering all the Home Soccer and Home Swimming events from both Kennedy and Jefferson. As the season goes on, more opportunities will pop up too.
Safety
It'll be great to be together with real live people again, won't it? Still we gotta stay safe, so we'll be implementing safety measures, including:
Social Distancing: spreading out positions, limiting the amount of people in the truck
Masks: Always in the truck or in buildings, and whenever near people outside
Keeping it Clean: Lots of hand sanitizer, and wiping down gear, surfaces, & headsets between uses
Health Checks: You know the symptoms. Stay home if you even THINK you've got any!
Crew Size: TV Crews are counted towards the total number of people allowed at an event, so there will be a limit on the amount of crew we can have.
Tech Teams
Tech Teams meet to cover specific events, or events on a specific day. They're great 'cuz they build a real sense of... well... "Team". This fall's Tech Teams will most likely be Tuesday Soccer, Thursday Soccer, and Swimming. We're hoping to make the teams "pods", so each tech can likely only be on one team. Tech Teams will start after our first week of production.
Sign up for teams now! We will be forming teams the week of September 7, so fill out the interest form before then.
Right now -
A lot has changed in the past few months. We're hoping you're ready to hop back into action safely. Cuz honestly - We're all gonna need something in our lives that's NOT Google Meet! Let us know if you plan on participating in BEC this year. Have some concerns? We'll be happy to talk with you.
Please respond to the invites (coming soon) for this week's shoots. We have a double header soccer game on Tuesday and a swim meet on Thursday.
Looking forward to "Being In This" together, again! (Below: The BEC Screaming Monkey plays it safe by putting face masks in front of the cameras. I think you got it wrong, Silly Monkey!)
