Behind the fun and memories, RMTV is always there to capture Red Mountain’s big moments. RMTV is a CTE program that films events in and out of school to post online and add to announcements for families and students to watch live or after the event ends.
“It’s being able to capture a football player’s smile after they make their first touchdown of the season,” said senior and Technical Producer, Erin Lyons, “Or capturing memories for people to look back on when everything is over with.”
You can spot them on the sidelines of a field, in the back of the auditorium as they live stream sports games, plays, concerts, and assemblies. “You have to be there whenever you are needed,” said senior and Executive Producer, Eric Rich, “But no matter how difficult the client may be, it’s always worth it because my team members are my best friends.”
These students put in over 2,000 hours of work, an amount that can not even be recorded on service cards, all because of their dedication. When asked about their most memorable event, every member responded with “Rampage.” Rampage is an all-day track event where all schools come to Red Mountain every year to compete in an array of track and field activities. “Besides the huge amount of work that Rampage itself takes, one of the most memorable parts is the long morning. It has become a ritual to us, we go to Waffle House at 2 AM before we get to school at 4 AM and finish setting up at 9 AM to being the long day of filming at 10 AM,” said senior and Technical Director, Carson Jackalone.
It takes hours upon hours just to set up their over $2,000 worth of equipment to be accountable for the students, families, and staff of Red Mountain High. Want to see more?
