Our Latest Installation at Longwood University

When you think of Mountain Productions, it’s no surprise that staging and music events are the first thoughts that come to mind. Behind the stages, however, has been our transition from solely a staging company to that of an integration company, providing vendor services in Engineering, Fabrication, Installation and Rigging Sales.  This integration focus allows us to provide each service as a stand-alone offering, where anyone can approach us as a trusted third-party vendor to assist in entertainment and industrial installations. Our recent installation at Longwood University, where our experienced team engineered, fabricated and installed rigging attachment points for the speakers and scoreboard, is just one example of our crew’s capabilities and expertise in custom-creating solutions that are tailored to each of our client’s requirements.  With each project we undertake, there is always a unique set of challenges and considerations that must be considered, and our time at Longwood University was no different. Below, we take you through our full journey at Longwood and highlight the rigging, design, safety compliance and project management considerations presented at each stage of the project.

Mountain Productions August 2023 Recap

August was a month to remember for the Mountain Productions crew. Over the last month, we took center stage at some of the hottest festivals and events throughout the country! Let’s take a closer look at the exciting journey we embarked on this August.

Musikfest

August started off strong with our return to Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where we relished the opportunity to once again provide the staging and rigging equipment for this 10-day music extravaganza. Our SP-1 main stage stood as a remarkable testament to its efficiency and innovation, featuring self-erecting towers and automated weather walls. Notably, the automated weather walls swiftly adapt to changing weather conditions, an important feature to have over the run of this 10-day music event. This cost-effective and adaptable staging solution has become an integral part of both Mountain Productions and Musikfest’s success, enhancing the festival’s reputation for delivering seamless, unforgettable musical experiences.
