Westpac Rescue Helicopter Ball 2024 – A Night of Glamour with Purpose
On Friday, 17 May 2024, guests at the 30th Anniversary Hunter Rescue Ball were transported into a captivating world of vintage aviation, glamour, and adventure.
Held in celebration of three decades of unwavering support for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, the event brought together supporters, sponsors, and community members for an unforgettable evening.
Forefront Productions was proud to provide full audio, video, lighting, and production management for the night, ensuring a seamless and visually stunning experience for all in attendance. We have been honored to partner with Westpac for the last four years, bringing this prestigious event to life and elevating its production to new heights each time. Our ongoing collaboration reflects our shared commitment to creating impactful experiences that support such an essential cause.
The Power Behind the Production
A key element of the event’s success was the state-of-the-art production setup, designed to deliver exceptional audio clarity, dynamic lighting, and immersive visuals.
The DiGiCo Quantum 225 at FOH and Quantum 338 at Monitors provided unparalleled control and flexibility, with expansive channel counts that ensured seamless mixing across the entire event. With up to 72 input channels on the Quantum 225 and an impressive 128 channels on the Quantum 338, the consoles offered pristine sound quality, rapid recall functionality, and powerful onboard processing that allowed our engineers to craft a flawless audio experience.
Powering the extensive lighting rig was the LSC Unitour 48ch Power Distribution System, known for its reliability, safety features, and adaptability in high-demand environments. Its robust circuit protection, integrated monitoring, and flexible configuration options made it the perfect backbone for ensuring stable and uninterrupted power delivery throughout the event, enabling a vibrant and immersive lighting design.
