About 70 Austin Community College District (ACC) students got the opportunity to help make the Austin City Limits Music Festival happen. The students worked alongside festival crews to gain real-world industry experiences in artist management & marketing, live sound engineering, and video production. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a wonderful opportunity for our students to get first-hand exposure to the dynamic and fast-paced world of large-scale event production,\u201d says Perry Crafton, dean of ACC\u2019s Arts & Digital Media. \u201cThey will work alongside industry professionals and participate in key behind-the-scenes operations that bring one of the world\u2019s most renowned music festivals to life.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hear from Jillian Masters, an ACC Audio Technology student who got to work on the Honda Stage on Saturday, October 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a super great experience! I got to shadow Bryan Woodall from LD Systems. He had a lot of great information to share with me. Audio can change based on temperatures and humidity. I learned how they set up stages, PA systems for outdoor\/festival settings, and certain things to look out for when doing sound in such a large space. It was nice to learn from all of his years of experience as an Audio Engineer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
