Sun Prairie High School Graduation 2010

LIVE on KSUN

Sun Prairie Cable Access once again broadcasted the 2010 Sun Prairie High School Graduation LIVE on Friday, June 11th.  The pictures below are what the set up looks like outdoors-the set up this year had to be moved quickly into the gymnasium due to some possible storms headed our way. 

Each Spring, SPCA-TV prepares for the live broadcast of the event weeks in advance.  Equipment is organized at the station days before the event.  On graduation day the equipment is gathered and taken over to the high school field house where it is set up and tested with the school's sound system.  Sun Prairie Cable Access channels 98 & 983 are the only two channels you can see this LIVE production! 

If you would like to purchase a copy of the graduation ceremony, you're in luck!  SPCA-TV has graduation DVD or VHS copies available for only $15.  Order you very own copy in advance today by calling SPCA-TV at 837- 4193 or order online here.

Sun Prairie Cable Access hosted its Ninth Annual Film Festival on August 29, 2009; at the Sun Prairie Public Library Community Room and at the Cable Access studios. The festival was created to provide a venue for showcasing local amateur video productions.

One first place recipient was chosen from each category based on total scores. These overall total scores were calculated from individual scores awarded by the contest judges. The judges were: Bob Kott, Ed Pagelow, Brad Smith, Dan Presser, Blake Patton, Frank Peot, Mary Ritter, Al Snowdon, and Kent Orfan.

The Film Festival included presentations, a viewing of the videos submitted, an awards ceremony and refreshments. The master of ceremonies was WJJO radio personality Blake Patton.  Sun Prairie Cable Access Executive Director Pam Steitz and SPCA-TV volunteer coordinator Karen Markstahler gave the welcoming and closing remarks.

The first place recipients are as follows: for the category ages 8-9, the first place recipient was Martin Berg for his video "Wisconsin Johnson & The Lost Lefse".  For the ten year old category, the first place recipient was Shyla Baney, for her video "Animal Police Wisconsin".  For the eleven year old category, the first place recipient was Alex Bandli for his video "Five Little Northern Pikes". The first place recipient for age 12 was Erik James for his video "Cutie Works Out". For the 13-15 year old category the first place producer was Calvin Berg for his film "Batman's Vacation Video".  Al Snowdon's film "Replanted Library Prairie" won the top award for the over 18 category.

The top selection for each category will be viewed at the state level at the Wisconsin Association of PEG (public, educational, government) Access Channels Conference in the spring of 2010.
