Scorpion Event Solutions Supports Denstone College Speech Day and Prize Giving with Full Audio and Lighting Package

Scorpion Event Solutions is proud to have recently supported Denstone College in delivering a successful and memorable Speech Day and Prize Giving event. Taking place in the college’s impressive chapel, the event called for a thoughtful combination of lighting and audio solutions to ensure every element was both seen and heard clearly by all guests, students and staff in attendance.

This important annual occasion celebrates the academic and personal achievements of pupils and is a centrepiece in the school’s calendar. As such, it was vital that the production was discreet yet effective, allowing the focus to remain on the speeches, presentations, and performances while enhancing the overall experience for the audience.

A tailored lighting setup for a formal occasion

Scorpion Event Solutions designed and delivered a comprehensive lighting package that brought clarity and atmosphere to the chapel setting. The team installed a variety of lighting fixtures, each chosen for its specific function and visual effect:

• Spot lighting was used to highlight speakers and prize recipients as they took to the front.
• Wash lighting provided an even glow across the main areas of the chapel, subtly lifting the ambient light without overpowering the natural tones of the historic space.
• Effect lighting added visual depth and enhanced the formal setting without distraction, helping to elevate the stage presence for those presenting and performing.

This careful blend of lighting styles ensured that all eyes were drawn to the right areas of the room, while still preserving the heritage and architectural beauty of the chapel.

Professional sound delivery for crystal-clear audio

Equally important to the success of the day was the provision of high-quality audio, designed to reach every corner of the chapel. With its high ceilings and natural reverberation, sound in this type of setting requires specialist handling.

Scorpion Event Solutions installed a professional sound system, incorporating microphones and strategically placed speakers to provide clear, even coverage throughout the venue. From speeches and musical interludes to the announcement of awards, every word and note was heard by the entire audience without echo or drop-off.

An experienced audio technician from the Scorpion team managed the setup live, making real-time adjustments to ensure balance and clarity throughout the proceedings.

Delivering technical support with a human touch

Edd Stanton, Director of Scorpion Event Solutions, commented:
“It’s always a pleasure to work with schools on important events like Speech Day. Our aim is to create a seamless and supportive technical backdrop that helps the event shine without being intrusive. Denstone College’s ceremony was a brilliant occasion, and we’re proud to have played our part in helping it run smoothly.”
