Biggest CGN webcast ever planned

Monday, 22 March 2010 20:24

CGN (Color Guard Netherlands) has big plans for the webcast this coming weekend. Big plans, but everything depends on the internet connection. As they did last year, they will provide an audio and video stream, with photos and scores in real time. This year there will also be backstage footage as also a Twitter page where you can follow the good luck wishes from those who are using Twitter live from Eindhoven. There will be 6 people working from early Saturday morning until late in the evening when everything is over. A broadcast of this quality is expensive. Therefore CGN will put a request and a link on the webcast site asking viewers for a small donation.
