Scorpion Event Services is proud to have recently supported Repton Prep for their prestigious Speech Day, providing professional audio solutions that ensured all guests and attendees could clearly hear and enjoy every moment of the occasion. With both outdoor and indoor audio requirements, this event called for careful planning, technical precision, and high-quality equipment – all of which our team delivered seamlessly.
Speech Day at Repton Prep is a much-anticipated annual celebration, bringing together students, families, staff, and special guests to mark achievements and reflect on the academic year. With such a large audience gathered across multiple locations, the importance of clear and consistent sound coverage was paramount.
The outdoor portion of the event involved speeches, and presentations that needed to be heard by everyone in attendance, whether seated close to the stage or further afield. Scorpion Event Services deployed a professionally balanced outdoor PA system, strategically placing speakers across the event space to ensure even sound distribution.
This setup provided crystal-clear audio for every address, allowing the audience to remain fully engaged without the need to strain to hear. The system was carefully calibrated to balance volume and clarity, taking into account the open-air environment and ambient noise.
By using reliable equipment and tested positioning techniques, we ensured that the outdoor audio experience matched the tone and formality of the event.
A standout element of this year’s Speech Day was the performance by a live orchestra inside the school’s sports hall – a technically demanding space that required a tailored audio approach.
Scorpion Event Services provided a comprehensive indoor PA system, including a variety of wired and wireless microphones, chosen to suit the specific instruments and vocal performances featured in the orchestra. From string sections and woodwind to soloists and percussion, each element was carefully mic’d and balanced to create a rich, full sound across the hall.
To support the live mix, our experienced technicians managed audio levels in real time, adapting to the dynamics of the performance and the acoustic characteristics of the venue. This ensured that every nuance of the music could be heard and appreciated by the audience – many of whom noted the high sound quality during and after the performance.
Edd Stanton, Director of Scorpion Event Services, commented:
“We’re always proud to work with educational institutions, particularly on events as significant as Speech Days. Our goal is to make sure that every speaker is heard, every note of music is enjoyed, and that the technical side of the event runs without a hitch. Repton Prep’s celebration was a brilliant example of what professional audio solutions can bring to a school setting.”
