GoVision stands 'tallest portable LED screen ever built' for 100th anniversary BSA Jamboree
August 16, 2010
GoVision, a supplier of turnkey mobile LED units and customized modular LED walls, erected what organizers billed as "the tallest portable LED screen ever built" for the 100th Anniversary National Scout Jamboree in Virginia.
More than 72,000 Boy Scouts and adult leaders gathered at Fort AP Hill, Va., from July 26 to Aug. 4, for the jamboree, and the GoVision LED screen towered over the event's main stage. At more than 60 feet high and 18 feet wide, it was so massive that 26,000 gallons of water and 76,000 pounds of concrete were needed as ballast to keep the 100 LED panels from falling forward, according to a release. GoVision also constructed two 18-foot by 32-foot Daktronics HD-12 LED video walls on either side of the main screen.
"The LED units for the Jamboree were a monumental undertaking, even more complex than what we've done for presidential inaugurations and the Final Four," said Chris Curtis, president and CEO of GoVision LP. "But this was a true labor of love, and we were honored to be a part of such a historic gathering."
Alford Media Services was recruited to manage all the audio and video needs of the three major productions staged during the week, which included performances by popular bands Honor Society and Switchfoot, appearances by Miss America Caress Cameron, "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe and U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and a videotaped message from President Barack Obama.
