Scorpion Event Solutions Supports De Ferrers Academy Annual Awards Night with Full Lighting and Sound Production

Scorpion Event Solutions is proud to have recently supported De Ferrers Academy with their Annual Awards Night, providing a complete lighting and audio package to help celebrate the school’s outstanding student achievements in style.

Held in a packed hall filled with students, staff, families and guests, the evening was a formal and uplifting celebration, recognising academic excellence, extracurricular success, and personal development across the academy. Scorpion Event Solutions was on hand to ensure the technical production delivered the atmosphere such an occasion deserves.

Intelligent Lighting to Set the Scene

To create a visually engaging and immersive experience, Scorpion provided a full suite of intelligent lighting, featuring a carefully chosen mix of moving spotlights, washes and beams. These fixtures were programmed to enhance key moments throughout the evening — from award announcements and walk-ups to performances and guest speeches.

The moving spotlights were used to illuminate presenters and prize-winners, ensuring all eyes were on the stage at the right time. Meanwhile, coloured washes and beam effects added a dynamic look to the event, creating a vibrant, celebratory tone.

Our professional technicians were on-site for the duration of the event to operate the lighting system, adapting in real-time to suit the mood and pacing of the programme. The result was a polished and professional visual presentation that added depth and excitement to the proceedings.

Crystal-Clear Audio for Every Word and Note

Alongside the lighting, Scorpion Event Solutions provided a complete sound solution tailored to the venue and the event’s structure. This included a variety of microphones — handheld, lapel, and lectern — to accommodate multiple speakers and presentations throughout the evening.

The system was designed to ensure that every announcement, speech and performance was heard clearly by the entire audience, no matter where they were seated. This is particularly important at awards nights, where it’s vital that the achievements being recognised are appreciated by all in attendance.

Our experienced sound technicians managed the setup and live mix, making adjustments as needed to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted audio experience.
