Bandit Lites Sweeps Awards
Bandit Lites was named as the number one entertainment lighting company in the world not once but twice in the start of this year. Bandit was named the Lighting Company of the Year in Los Angeles at the PLSN Parnelli Awards on 25th February. This was on the heals of winning the Pollstar Awards for Lighting Company of Year in Los Angeles on 4th February. This is the first time in history any firm has won both of these awards in the same year, which is an amazing accomplishment.
C.E.O. Michael T. Strickland states: “Winning both the Pollstar C.I.C. 2004 and the PLSN ProProduction 2004 Lighting Company of the Year Award is simply staggering. The high quality of our competition coupled with the population of executives that voted us these awards make this very special to everyone at Bandit. All of our people, from Asia to the US to Europe are committed to making 2005 even better. We wish to thank the entire industry for voting us these accolades and promise to live up to them on a daily basis.”
Bandit is also a finalist for the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce Pinnacle Award as the top business in Knoxville. This award winner will be announced 11th March at a gala affair sponsored by the chamber.
Bandit began the year lighting several of the Presidential Inaugural Balls in Washington, D.C. in addition to the normal busy schedule. This accomplishment was followed by winning the global lighting contract for the reunion of the world renowned rock band Queen which is in rehearsals now. The selection of Bandit for the Queen tour was no small feat, as Queen are one of the biggest bands in rock history and this reunion tour will play every corner of the earth.
