Behind the scenes at A Time For Music 39 Hasc concert with Moishe from Green Events #BPCU

We're here at the main entrance of NJPAC in Newark, New Jersey, getting ready for the HASC concert, A Time for Music 39. This is the fifth year that Green Event has the opportunity, honor, pleasure, and privilege to plan, coordinate, and execute the event planning aspect of the HASC concert. Green Event was hired by HASC 5 [music] years ago with one goal, to transform a concert into an experience. We have four events happening [music] over here simultaneously. That is what we call a production at Green Event. One, VIP reception at Robert Treat Hotel, right across [music] the street from NJPAC. Two, we have a lounge that's open for all the VIPs during the concert. Three, for all the VIPs that are sitting in the [music] boxes have butlers that are working for them all the time during the concert, during the show, serving them, [music] and feeding them, and making sure they're being well taken care of. Number four, everything around and around the stage is organized by Green Event, whether it's crowd control, security, logistics, whether it's venue [music] coordination and communication, whether it's the whole guest experience, how they walk in, where they go, the signage. Production was so excited, we're so [music] happy with the outcome. How are we helping you guys get to your ultimate goal? >> [music] >> Camp HASC has been around for over 50 years. There's been 50 years of real work, of ahavas chesed, [music] of mesiras nefesh, of sacrifice for each other. It it's it's really in recent years when we have partners that we're working together with >> [music] >> like Green Event, like Pivot, that are really helping us kind of shine the diamond, so to speak. >> [music] >> Polish the product, to show the world and share with the world just how important and how beautiful this work is. Five years ago we were hired with one goal and one [music] mission, to be able to turn what was a just a concert into an experience. And year after year we're working harder, [music] stronger. How can we make it take it up a notch? How can we bring it more? We're looking for the cast. Where's the cast? So, we're here, we're crossing the street into the Robert Treat Hotel.

That's his job over here. We trust in him because at the end of the day >> Thank you. if he messes up, we're messed up. You know what I love about Ellie? It's just the energy. It's also the security. Over the last 5 years, one of the biggest focus we did at Pacha at A Time For Music concert for the VIP reception is the bar. The bar is the focal point. It became that kind of like tradition, like, "Oh, what's going to What's going to be this year at the bar? Let's see the bar this year." So, we're trying to come up with cool concepts. Now, the details of the bar that we came up with, we also want to incorporate as much as possible the theme, the vibe, A Time For Music, Pacha. Take a look [music] at this harp. Beautiful.
