Audio Story: Relay for Life

Colleges Against Cancer is holding Relay for Life tomorrow at the Towson Center. It is an overnight event where team members take turns walking from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The event raises money for cancer research. I will interview Beth Petrucci, Survivor Committee Chair, and a team captain on a walk-team.

I will collect natural sound such as footsteps of walkers (if audible), crickets (if they're out that night), cheers from team members, and laughing. Most relays have booths set up for resting or fundraising games. I will go early to see if I can catch some nat sound of people setting up boothes. Who knows?! I might even get some hammering!

Bee Sweet!

The Baltimore Spelling Bee will be held at Towson on Saturday March 14. Organizers have requested volunteers from Towson. I think this would be a great audio story because I could get natural sound of the audience and judges. Of course the best part would be the sound of kids' voices spelling out words. Interviewees could be TU volunteers, judges, parents, bee participants. I think it would be a cute human interest story.
