| Campo's CPAC launches new fundraising campaign, plans benefit concert
| | | By Jennifer Wake |  | | |
The Campolindo Performing Arts Center at Campolindo High School has launched a fundraising campaign to purchase and install state of the art technology and equipment, as well as upgrade the technological infrastructure of the CPAC.?Since its opening in 2003, the CPAC has been a gathering place, a performance space, and a literal training ground for thousands of performing arts students.
"Amplify the Arts"?chair Heather Davis explains the campaign is a partnership between Campolindo High School, Acalanes Union High School District (AUHSD), Moraga Education Foundation (MEF), Campolindo Choir Fund (CCF), Campolindo Instrumental Music Boosters, parents, and the community.?According to the "Amplify the Arts" website, "Significant advancements in technology over the last 20 years have made existing equipment woefully outdated and, in some cases, inoperable. The installation of projected updates to audio, communications and lighting systems will enhance the experience for performers and audience members alike.?The CPAC, which impacts the arts education of hundreds of students each year, also provides a vibrant arts environment for the benefit of the greater community."
"The first phase focused on the audio portion of the project and installation was completed in September," Davis said. "Equipment and upgrades included sound mixing equipment, surround sound, speakers, microphone banks and more. The project also includes a lighting?phase which is in process and will be purchased and installed as soon as funds are available." To date, the campaign has raised over $125,000, Davis noted.
"Amplify the Arts" will host a benefit concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14 and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15 which will feature performances from Campo's performing arts alumni - Maddie Browning (2015), Nate Correll (2017) and Arriana Glenn (2019) - now seen professionally on stage, in the pit, and on screen.
