Joseph “Joe” Adipietro returned to Alfred University to serve as the Audio Engineer and Production Manager for the school’s first ever Battle of the Bands event. He led all pre-production efforts by creating a detailed advance covering technical requirements, staffing, and event expectations, followed by weeks of coordination with talent and equipment. Joe also mixed the event live and handled full production capture, recording two camera angles and 18 tracks of audio to deliver high-quality video and professional-grade sound.

The event featured three bands and drew a crowd of approximately 100 attendees. The Corsairs took first place and earned the opportunity to open for mxmtoon in the coming months. Joe was grateful for the chance to return to campus, reconnect with the community, and contribute to a successful and memorable event.
