A Big Screen Vision for Our Community

The video board could transform game day—and create real-world learning opportunities for students in the TV & Film program.

Dear Nolensville,

My name is Brian Bass and I am the TV/Film teacher and Media Coordinator here at Nolensville High School.  As some of you may know, we are in the midst of an enormous fundraising campaign in hopes of installing a JumboTron Board on our football field by this fall. 

Honestly, when I first heard about this campaign, I did a bit of an eye roll and assumed it to be a football-related fundraiser.   However, I am here to tell you that this project has incredible potential for the academic growth and work-based opportunities at our school.

This board will be able to showcase not only our athletes, our band, and graduation ceremonies, but it will provide an opportunity for our film and sports marketing classes to shine like never before. 

The first facet of this academic growth is quite obvious: the Board will showcase student- made graphics, hype videos, and sports content for the entire town on gameday.  This will allow our students work to be on display to a larger audience, and offer more chances to highlight our athletes and student life.

The second facet is the professional advertising opportunities that the board would provide to my higher-level film students.  Advertisements on the board can be sold to local businesses.  They will then be written, shot, and produced by my film students.  The ads will then be shown on the Board.  This allows not only local businesses to receive a professional level ad at the price of their donation, but the opportunity for my students to gain real world experience and have professional commercials for their college portfolios.  It really is a win for the town and the students.

We are SO CLOSE to achieving our goal, and I thank you for your consideration.  This Board will have benefits that stretch far beyond football! 

Thank you,
Brian Bass, NHS TV/Film
