Veteran TV Announcer Pat O'Brien Teams With Parade Of Parades LLC To Re-Imagine Live Entertainment Venues - Including Parades, Festivals, Special Prog

Online, May 18, 2012 (Newswire.com) - PASADENA, Ca. - Sportscaster and long time Hollywood entertainment personality Pat O'Brien has teamed with an Alliance of companies - including Daktronics - www.daktronics.com - the recognized world leader in the design and manufacture of LED video systems.

With large screens strategically positioned to enliven large venue parades, festivals, and special events - the network of screens allows the broadcast of live entertainment and other video content via large screen LED video display technology utilized at parade and events venues.

The Parade of Parades Strategic Alliance of Service Providers... aka the POP Alliance is comprised of a network of companies that integrate as a team to provide a seamless three part offering for organizers of Parades, Festivals, and Sporting Events. These services include - Architecture - Technology - Entertainment.

Commencing with a design by a POP Architect of an entertainment offering - the proposal is prepared for consideration by the event organizers. Once all are in agreement the Parade of Parades LLC takes care of the rest.

With the stated mission of "promoting community, harmony and advancing diversity through Arts and Entertainment" a team of event planning architects from the POP Architectural Studios works with the parade or event organizing committee to determine the most strategically advantageous positioning of LED jumbo screens and other public communication systems.

About 12 hours prior to the event - in conjunction with street closings - a POP Musical Entertainment Variety Show performs live for the waiting throngs which often number in the millions
This performance is amplified by being broadcast along the entire network of screens lining the event or parade route - providing entertainment along the way.

Live streaming of POP events will be hosted on the Parade of Parades website at www.paradeofparades.com . The entertainment offering will be customized for each specific parade or event.

Pat O'Brien is the Master of Ceremonies for POP - hosting a variety show featuring many guests and surprises including members from the parade community - civic leaders - sports personalities - and well known celebrities.

On commencement of the parade or event the network of screens reverts to the TV Network feed so that the parade audience can see and hear the details of the floats, bands and other features that are being broadcast to the TV viewing audience.

Called the "exploded viewing system" the network of giant LED screens brings the benefits of enhanced viewing as well as providing crowd interaction opportunities and public safety broadcasts.

Once the event is over the network of screens are used to direct traffic and assist public service providers in communicating with the large crowds as they become more mobile following the event.

In essence, the POP Alliance of companies works with the organizers of parades and festivals to design and implement a full parade and event enlivenment package.

As the dynamics of each parade will be unique, the POP Alliance works closely with the organizers of each event to insure a seamless production. POP also coordinates with the local municipality to incorporate public safety, emergency and exiting announcements into the POP Show - to be broadcast along the entire network of POP Show screens.
