What are the responsibilities and job description for the Music and Sound Effects Operator position at Danbury Westerners?
The Music and Sound Effects Operator is responsible for all music and sound effects broadcast over the public address system before, during and after the ballgame.
The Music and Sound Effects Operator will download and have at their disposal the National Anthem (to be played if not performed live), the Danbury Westerners theme song, Take Me Out To The Ballgame and sound effects appropriate for baseball situations. Creativity is encouraged.
In addition, the Music and Sound Effects Operator will download clips for each player’s walk-up song and music to be played during a lull in the action that is not filled by the Public Address Announcer. They will ensure that all clips are appropriate for broadcast (i.e. no offensive lyrics in player walk up music, etc).
The Music and Sound Effects Operator collaborates closely with the Public Address Announcer so music is complimenting but not interfering with announcements.
During a typical season there are constant roster additions, and the Music and Sound Effects Operator is responsible for adding new player walk up music in time for a new player’s first home game.
The ideal candidate will know how to create and organize audio clips for easy access and be very familiar with baseball. To complete their duties the individual must be organized, prepared and concentrate on their duties throughout the game.
