City of Sacramento - State of the City

E

very element of this televised event, held at the iconic Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, was custom produced to deliver an impactful and inspirational program.

To produce the entertainment with a short turnaround of two weeks, the Hip Team went into pre-production and rehearsals with the band Hip Service.

  • Acoustic Duo as attendees arrive
  • Three song medley full band show opening
  • Prepare and rehearse live performance of song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros to sync with pre-produced video
  • Live bumper music for all walk-on and walk-offs of presenters
  • Custom song - "Come Together"
  • Show ending - "Celebration"

There are very few musical groups capable of executing a complicated run-of-show utilizing a live band, much like you see when you watch the Academy Awards on television. When a show requires a large live band to perform complex cues, we utilize an off-stage producer who is calling the shots to the on stage Musical Director. All verbal cues are communicated to the band via the In Ear Monitor (IEM) system and talk back microphones. For this show, we had the 12 piece Hip Service band using the IEMs. This system enables the show producer who is calling the show to communicate all cues and changes on the fly. We have produced many corporate events and awards ceremonies, and it works flawlessly.

Corporate Holiday Party Planning: A Hollywood Theme

Hip Entertainment & Events recently produced a Hollywood-themed corporate holiday party for one of our clients. The theme of the party was "Old Hollywood vs New Hollywood" and it was reflected in the decor, entertainment, and costumes. We created a red carpet entrance with paparazzi, champagne skirts with theme-perfect costuming for the servers, a Rat Pack band with impersonators of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Marilyn Monroe, a DJ with live musicians, an LED wall displaying music videos, and a cigar bar. The party was a huge success and left a lasting impression on all the guests.
