Where Are They Now? Drumm Farm Center For Children
"Where Are They Now?" A video we produced looking into recent alumni of Drumm Farm Center for Children. Inspiring stories of young adults, formerly houseless or who have aged out of foster care, sharing success stories of how they are breaking their own cycle of poverty.
We had a blast shooting video and photos this week with the Lee's Summit Jazz Orchestra at Libations & Company and The 1909 Club in Downtown Lee's Summit. The LSJO plays here every month. Mark your calendar for their next performance here on April 23rd at 7:00 p.m.
Morant's Pass (timelapse)
One year ago today (March 1, 2023): One final view from Morant's Curve between Lake Louise and Banff in the Canadian Rockies. This is nearly 2000 frames of timelapse as well as some captured audio in the field. All is calm and serene until the Canadian Pacific Railway comes through! 😳

Hlohonolofatsa
On December 3rd, we shot this concert for Lee's Summit North High School and Bernard Campbell Middle School at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Redemptorist Parish. Built in 1878, Redemptorist is a cathedral in mid-town Kansas City featuring old-world French Gothic architecture, beautiful stained glass windows, and five spectacular Carrera marble altars hand-carved in Italy. The main objective of this concert is to provide middle school and high school choral students the experience of performing in a historic and beautiful acoustic space. Acoustically, the cathedral holds nearly five seconds of reverb “hang time” due to its incredibly high ceilings and structural depth, perfect for large choral performances.
Of course, the choirs didn’t disappoint in their performance. Here’s a fun arrangement of “Hlohonolofatsa,” a South African greeting song performed by the Lee’s Summit North High School Concert Choir. “Iyo hlonolofatsa, Ka lebitso las ntate,” translates as, “Bless everything in the name of the Father.” Be sure to listen to this on some good speakers or headphones (and turn it up!) so you can hear every musical nuance and appreciate the incredible acoustics of this space.
Special thanks to Jonathan Krinke, George Peng, and Joshua Lawlor at Lee’s Summit North and Nikki Pace and Terrin Pabst at Bernard Campbell. These choral teachers and accompanists are wonderful at their job and create incredible experiences and opportunities for their students.

We're closed for a snow day today. Local roads are pretty bad out there. Please stay safe and warm!
Frank Meeker Restoration
One of the most touching projects of the holiday season was restoring and preserving a collection of unique phonograph records by local jazz pianist, Frank Meeker (1928-2017). Frank was a professional jazz musician at an early age who studied classical piano at The Kansas City Conservatory, now known as The University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory. These one-of-a-kind phonographs were recorded at Damon Recording Studios, which opened in 1933 in the Midland Building in downtown Kansas City.
Frank’s daughter, Stacey Meeker, brought in the acetate discs thought to be recorded in the early 1960s. These direct-to-disc recordings were made using a special recording lathe to cut an audio signal into the surface of aluminum discs coated in lacquer. Unfortunately, time was not on our side. The phonographs were so fragile, much of the lacquer coating stripped off the records while playing (seen in the video and photos), rendering their last life in the analog world. Thankfully, a digital recording was made during their first and final playback, preserving Frank’s incredible performances for the next generation. What a privilege to serve in preserving a local history!
Happy Halloween from Summit Video Services!
