Alumni and parents from across the world will have a front row seat at the 127th Andover-Exeter football game tomorrow. WPAA will broadcast a live video- and audio-feed of the game across the Internet. Parents and alumni will have the opportunity to tune in and witness a pre-game show, live footage and audio commentary on the game, a Taiko drumming performance at halftime and a post-game wrap-up. Alumni parties are scheduled in several cities across the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Paris and Hong Kong. The Office of Academy Resources has hired a professional production crew, VideoLink, which often films and produces college football games. “This is an amazing opportunity for WPAA. This is the first time that the game has been broadcast in this manner, and it is WPAA’s first opportunity to be heard across the world instead of just on the local intranet,” said Anthony Reyes ’05, WPAA General Manager. The feed can be accessed through WPAA or people can find it via a link from the Andover homepage. The halftime show will feature a four-minute performance by the members of the Andover Taiko Drumming Club. The drummers will be playing throughout the entire game to help excite the crowd. “The show should be pretty awesome; people should expect a high-energy performance with lots of interesting choreography,” said Luke Cahill ’06, head of the drumming club. During halftime, WPAA will also conduct interviews of Head of School Barbara Chase and several alumni. Lebow will be performing on-field interviews, and will interview Head Coach Leon Modeste at either at halftime or after the game. During the game, Alex King ’05 is working as an on-field reporter. King will be trying to find footage of the Blue Keys or on-field happenings such as injuries. All commentary on the game will be provided by Simon Keyes ’06 and Alex Lebow ’05. Keyes will provide play-by-play commentary while Lebow contributes facts, observations and opinions. “[Lebow] is the John Madden to my Al Michaels. The viewers have the game as a visual aid, so my job is just to tell them things such as which players are doing what, to add excitement, and to help Lebow fill the airtime,” said Keyes. In an effort to learn as much as possible about the two competing football teams as possible, Lebow and Keyes traveled with the Andover team on Wednesday and
