On this night, some of the world's greatest wine makers, connoisseurs, and collectors
gathered in Nashville to attend the 2008 l'ete du Vin Grand Auction. This annual
event is the oldest charitable wine auction in the country and is currently the second
largest charitable wine auction in the United States. Proceeds from the event go to
several cancer research and service organizations in the Nashville area, including
Gilda's Club, Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center, Camp Horizon, the Dan Rudy Cancer Center,
and Make a Wish Foundation. The Gary Musick Company has produced the organization's major events for
the past 10 years, and they are among our favorite clients. Each year, several internationally
known wine makers are invited to be featured guests of the auction. In return, these
wineries donate all of the wine served at the week-long series of tastings and dinners,
culminating in the grand auction. They also contribute a significant number of valuable
wines from their vineyards' collections to be auctioned at the event. Several hundred
thousand dollars were raised during the dinner and auction.
For the past few years, the Grand Auction has been held at the Loews
Vanderbilt Plaza Hotel, a favorite destination for Nashville's leading social and
charitable events. The Gary Musick Company handles all event
design, decor, and audiovisual production for the auction. Centerpiece designs were
created by Elle's Marche des Fleurs.
Congratulations to the Nashville Wine Auction on another fantastic year of
events! Special thanks to Executive Director Mike Haney and Director of Events Torrey
Barnhill, our key contacts from the auction staff. Also, a big thanks goes to our entire
GMC team, especially Brandon Thomas who helped me produce the
event, and Jonathan Yeaworth who coordinated the technical aspects of the show.
INTERSTATE BATTERIES — "SUPER SHOW"!
6.12-16.08
The closing party for the Interstate Batteries show was a Superheroes theme
party. This was done to compliment the overall goal of celebrating the achievements of
the men and women of Interstate Batteries' international system of
distributorships.
The party was held at the Marriott Wardman Park, one of the largest hotel's in
Washington DC. We created four themed rooms loosely patterned after superhero themes:
Superman's Fortress of Solitude, Batman's Bat Cave, a western bar for silver screen
Cowboys and Legends, and a "Batt-man's" gameroom. This action packed family
oriented event attracted more than 2000 convention attendees and their families. Each
room featured themed decor and entertainment that helped create an amazing night of music
and fun for everyone.
The highlight of the evening was a performance by "TRIBUTE!", a Las Vegas
style show featuring three fantastic celebrity impersonators and a cast of live singers,
dancers, and musicians. Guests marveled at performances by "Barry White",
"Dolly", and "Tina Turner". All three performers made the audience do
double takes to make sure these performers weren't the real thing.
It was an awesome evening and the perfect way to end the 2008 Interstate Convention.
Our client passed along rave revues from their attendees, and it was clear the event was
enjoyed by all.
"Tina Turner" was totally hot and really got the audience going with her
performance of "Proud Mary."
"Dolly" wowed the crowd when she brought one of the male attendees on stage
for a little fun and good-natured flirting.
"Barry White" was phenomenal when he performed some of the artist's biggest
hits. It was really pretty eire!
Back Yard Burgers 2008 Annual Convention
6.9.08
On behalf of client Performance Marketing Group (PMG), The Gary Musick
Company produced the 2008 Annual Convention for Back Yard Burgers, a
Nashville-based company with more than 170 restaurants in their system. In addition to a
custom-built stage set with functioning doors and lights that emulated their new prototype
restaurant, GMC provided all audio, video and lighting production
for the convention. The Gary Musick Company would like to thank
our friends at PMG and Back Yard Burgers for allowing us to produce the
first annual convention for the company under new ownership.
This project was the first in a series of conventions that PMG and The
Gary Musick Company are collaborating on, and if this event is any indication
of the power of this partnership, the sky is the limit.
Loggins & FOREIGNER Perform for NAED
5.17.08
The Gary Musick Company produced the National
Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED) Annual Leadership Summit in San Francisco.
This was a convention for 1000 of the top executives and owners of the country's largest
electrical distributors and equipment manufacturers. This year marked the 100th anniversary
of the association, so they pulled out all the stops in terms of entertainment and
production. In addition to producing business sessions and award shows, we produced Kenny
Loggins and "Foreigner" concerts on consecutive nights during the convention.
The highlight was the closing night party featuring FOREIGNER. It was a major hit with
those who attended NAED's 100th Anniversary Gala Awards celebration. It was really fun to watch
about 1000 40-60 somethings reliving their youth! It was hilarious to see hundreds of
executives in tuxedos and formal gowns swaying in front of the stage with brightly lit
cell phones held high overhead (what ever happened to bic lighters?). The band was lead
by founder Mick Jones. His guitar solos were amazing, and the rest of the band blazed
through nearly an hour and a half of classic rock hits from the band's stellar career.
I think the audience's favorite was "HOT BLOODED". The members of the band could not have
been more gracious, and the crowd really had a blast. It was the perfect ending for the
association's 100th year celebration.

supporting children's charitable organizations. We had a great time! Many of the guests
dressed as favorite characters from classic Hollywood movies. Our scenic team built a mock
up of a Lexus SUV which was used as a gimmick to introduce the Predators team
members. Giant mock ups of Hollywood movie posters encircled the floor of the Sommet Center
where the Nashville's NHL Predators play their home games. The dinner was staged

the actual Horizon Awards dinner on Friday night. Our GMC
team created an evening of elegance and sophistication with a tropical Asian flair. We
used giant Japanese lantern set pieces, elegant damask linens, and exotic orchid
centerpieces to help make the evening a memorable one for our guests. Saturday evening
featured an awards presentation for a smaller group of about 100 individuals who were
also high achievers in the First Tennessee Family. This was the

platinum color palette, with floral centerpieces placed in silver julip cups. We again

tribute to Raff Diaz, one of CYDCOR's up-and-coming associates
who received a major promotion. The number was a big hit with the audience.

theme in honor of the week's Chinese New Year celebration. A cast of 10 performers came
from Nashville to perform a traditional Chinese "Lion Dance" and "Dragon
Dance" as part of CYDCOR's awards ceremony. Both numbers were
choreographed in-house by Claire Williams. The show closed with a highlights
video staged, shot and edited by our videographer, Gabe McCauley, and Associate
Producer Brandon Thomas. The video featured the conference attendees in an
entertaining montage of staged and candid shots edited to the music "All Star".
The audience loved it!

William Morris Agency Holiday Party

One of our favorite events to produce each year is the William Morris Agency
holiday open house. William Morris is one of the largest and oldest
talent agencies in the world, with clients who are among some of the most prominent names
in the entertainment world. This year we turned the parking deck of the agency's Nashville
headquarters into a silver, blue and white "club" environment where more than 450 artists,
managers, agents, and music industry titans came together for an evening of holiday cheer.
We completely enclosed the sides of their parking garage and heated, decorated, and
carpeted the interior. The folks at William Morris said it was the best
event we'd produced so far! Thanks to the GMC staff who worked such long hours in the freezing December air to set up the event!
One of the highlights of the party was the sushi bar that featured twin 250 gallon
aquariums filled with freshwater tropical fish. Throughout the evening, a chef prepared
fresh sushi on a cutting board atop the tanks. Our team of artists created a mock up of
the William Morris logo that looked like it had been carved from coral. It was very cool!
A large display of fresh "Fruits d' Mer" complimented the sushi.

“set” and the results were stunning.
Here is what the Trade Organization had to say:
HMS - A+. One of the coolest booths ever and a couple of rows off the expensive
center aisle at that. It was build to look like a '50s diner and had a couple of
girls with big hair snapping gum and wisecracking in their pink waitress uniforms.
One of few booths that was fun, despite a small space and less-than-prime location.
Great job. The girls were fun. Worth a trip.
