TRIXSTAR KICKS OFF THE SEASON WITH THE ESKS

Trixstar Productions has its hands full producing six live events during the Edmonton Eskimos 2012 season. Over the past couple of years, the CFL football franchise and Trixstar Productions have worked together on the 2010 Grey Cup Festival. Various successful live events have now led to a full production slate of shows featuring a wide range of headliners.

“As a live event production company, you really have to be on your toes during a sporting event situation. You only have so many minutes to execute a show during half time”, says Trixstar’s Mike Anderson. “We earned the confidence of the Eskimos management team because we showed them we could execute a live event in tight time frames consistently, over and over.”

The live event roster is a handful. June 30^th, it’s the home opener against the Toronto Argos with Finger Eleven performing at half time and during the after game show at the new Field House. On July 13^th, Jake Pavelka (The Bachelor, Bachelor Pad, Dancing With the Stars) will be hosting the Woman's Night Half Time Show. Salt N Pepa makes an appearance at half time on August 10^th. Country star Dallas Smith will perform September 22^nd for both the half time show as well as the after game show at the Field House as part of CISN's 30th Birthday Bash. Then on October 13, the Shaw Conference Centre's famous ‘Rocktoberfest’ will move to Commonwealth Stadium's Field House and will be rechristened as ‘Pinktober Fest’ for what will be a highly charged after party following the game against Saskatchewan. The season wraps up with a half time performance featuring Vanilla Ice on November 2^nd as well as a pperformance at the after show at the Field House as part of fan appreciation night.

“Trixstar Productions will have a chance to really get into a rhythm and continue to build the scope in terms of live event production and live event management”, says Anderson.
