What a crazy day for NPTV

It was quite the adventure on Friday with NPTV.  This afternoon, NPHS held all all school Pep Rally.  The first one we have had outside since 1988.  It was a great time and the student body really showed their school spirit. 

Clearly, one of the highlights was the Dizzy Competition. Here we see secretary Sue Busch doing a face plant after spinning 7 times.










Don't worry.  Mrs. Busch was fine!

Principal of NPHS, Mr Hynes did his fair share of spinning as well.

      NPTV is always there to help!



Right from the Pep Rally, we began setting up as the skies began to darken.  The wind began to gust and knocked over one of our cameras taking it out of service for the night.  We set everything we could without setting up the remainder of our cameras and took a quick dinner break.  As we began our final connections, the rain began to fall.  Our team did a great job braving the elements to bring NPHS homecoming 2009 to our viewers.  As this year's Homecoming King - Sky Lynch and Queen  - Julie Williams were announced, the rain began to just pound us.

We waited through the remainder of halftime to see if the weather would relent. It did not, and we made the decision to protect our equipment and call it a night. We quickly broke down. North Penn continued to dominate Souderton and won the game 27-6. What an end to a crazy week.

NP Football with a huge new Crew

What a great night for North Penn!  The Knights dominated CB West earlier.  We had several new crew members on our show tonight.  Everyone got some game time on camera and everyone was doing a great job by the end of their quarter.  With the last two weeks of training, NPTV is well on it's way to producing some of the highest quality local television production you will find.  The next time we are at Crawford Stadium will be homecoming on 10/23.  Great job to our new members tonight Chymera, Mike, Dan, Alex, Dara, Nate.  Thanks to all of our veterans fro a great game tonight. NPAAA is tomorrow night.  See you live at 7:00 p.m.
