Showcall was tasked with planning and producing the events surrounding the dedication of the U.S. Air Force Memorial. Events included the Dedication Ceremony, attended by such notables as the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense and Ross Perot and featured a memorable fly-over, a black-tie affair the evening before the Ceremony and a military fair and concert for the public. Showcall handled all of the event production elements, including the site planning, design, event-flow, audio-visual production, stage management, perimeter security assets and fireworks.
