BEHIND THE GIG @ THE METRO 2024 was an electrifying triumph! We enjoyed 2 days of industry experts showcasing their skills and knowledge working with a live band in the music & entertainment industry. Our aim was to inspire the next generation to choose this industry as a career path - We've created that buzz of enthusiasm!

200 students & teachers experienced a day in the life of a tech industry professional, setting up and performing a LIVE guest band. Students learnt how to set up microphones on real instruments. Using the in-house and additional floor package of Elation & Wireless DMX Astera Titan Tubes, the stage was set with state of the art lighting to create the perfect gig atmosphere.  All students participated in the design and performance of the stage lighting and mixing live sound.
