Filming the 2022 Shenandoah Conservatory Senior Showcase: A Look Behind the Scenes

Each spring, Shenandoah Conservatory hosts its Senior Showcase—a powerful and emotional sendoff for its graduating performers. And for the second year in a row, C King Media was honored to document this milestone moment.

A Personal Perspective on the Showcase

This year’s showcase wasn’t just a filming assignment—it was the culmination of months of effort and collaboration. Capturing each senior’s final performance required careful planning, a refined workflow, and a rock-solid team of creatives who brought their A-game to every moment of production.

From post-production pipelines to custom orchestration and stage design, every layer of this project was infused with care.

It’s always an emotional experience watching these students perform—many for the final time before stepping into the professional world. And to be the one capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments? That’s an honor I don’t take lightly.

How It All Came Together

This year, we improved upon everything we learned from past years, refining both:

  • Filming logistics for seamless student sessions

  • Audio integration for clear, professional-grade mixing

  • Multi-person team scheduling to allow for both solo and group number production

And none of it would’ve been possible without the amazing artists and technicians behind the scenes.
