NORWOOD -- The Liotta Band Shell recently received an electrical upgrade.
The band shell was rewired as part of the village's green lighting project.
The work was completed Oct. 1 by Watson Electric, with the procurement, installation, and programming of the system by Syracuse Scenery and Lighting.
The system was expanded from 10 lighting instruments to 20. All lighting instruments are color changeable LED’s. The previous 10 lighting instruments were Spectra 100 Pars.
Two more Spectra Pars were added as well as 4 Color Lites serving as back lighting for the performers and as a wash for the back wall. Four Outshine Strips were added to the ceiling that will serve as an adjustable enhancement to be used where needed.
The system will be controlled with an ETC Colorsource 40 console, said a press release from Joe Liotta, organizer of the Norwood Village Green Concert Series.
One of the advantages of the upgraded system is that there will be an even wash of the complete band shell, Liotta said. Another advantage will be individual control of each of the 20 light fixtures. The use of supplemental tree lighting will be unnecessary giving more space for the performers.
The total cost of the upgrade was $15,000.
The Norwood Village Green Concert Series credited the following with making the upgrade possible:
Tracy Cox for his custom made guitar which raised $5,300 in its raffle, Robert Gibson who provided the 4 strip lighting instruments, the Sweetgrass Foundation which provided the 4 side Color Lites, Arconic which provided the 2 Spectra Pars, and the Northern New York Community Foundation which provided the ETC Colorsource 40 console.
Additional financial help was give by Michael and Delores Edwards and the Brass Firemen.
The general public will see the new system at work during December and January when the band shell will be lit for the holiday season.
The 48th annual season of the Norwood Village Green Concert Series is planned for 2021. The Norwood Village Green and the Village of Norwood are now concentrating on restroom upgrades.
