99Rock spent two days DJing at Fieldstock over the weekend of August 8th and 9th. Friday night DJ Chris Bp entertained a crowd of students competed in Coolaid Boat Races and balloon tosses. Then on Saturday, Chris BP and the rest of the Street Team spent their day on the Green between 1 and 6pm. Click on the video below to see BP dj.

99Rock's preeminent Homebrew Host, Social Director Phil Aubart '10 is off this term at Officer Candidate School. In his stead, Maia Pfeffer '11 along with her weekly show on WebDCR titled 'Truffle Shuffle' with Micky Teng '11 which has its own blog, truffleshuffleradio.blogspot.com, has taken over Homebrew each Sunday night on 99Rock between 8 and 10pm. She has been doing a great job this term ensuring that each Homebrew show has a half an hour interview with local artist. The thirty minutes is a mixture of dialogue and music from the various artists.

99Rock spent two afternoons at the North Haverhill Fair on July 23rd and July 24th.

We recently fired up the station camera and found some really interesting photos from the past few months...


Technical Director Tony Quincy '11 and General Manager Schuyler 'Sketch' Evans '10 saw Kevin James at a World Championship Fighting event we were attending... James' body guard did not want James to take the picture with Tony and Sketch but James allowed them to take the shot. So go see Mall Cop!

Since DCR's transition from a terrestrial AM signal to a purely web based platform, we have been working a new logo for DCR that reflects that transition. All of our old logos showcased 1340 which has become irrelevant. Part of our update of DCR has been a transition away from WDCR, to either calling the station DCR or WebDCR. Our Internet Director Ricky Melgares '11 created this logo with the intent of it being stylish, modern, expanding our new WebDCR brand and also reinforcing that DCR is still Dartmouth College's Official college radio station. Differentiating between DCR and FRD has been a part of our larger goal; branding Dartmouth Broadcasting as a multi-faceted student run business that has educational components.

The last few weeks have been a very exciting time for DCR from a technical standpoint. We have actually begun addressing problems with the WebDCR studio that have been present since at least the fall of '06. There have been several key factors that have lead to movement on the technical front. The first namely being two substantial equipment donations, the first being a Broadcast Audio console coming from Cox Radio (as secured by past GM Eric McDonald '04). Operations Heath Cole and General Manager Schuyler 'Sketch' Evans '10 drove down to Connecticut to pick up the board from Eric's stations and took a tour of his facilities. It was a very exciting and long day. On the way home Heath and Sketch were hit with perhaps the worst downpour coming up 91 that either of them had ever seen (One car did not make it and the front was all smashed in). The second being a very well maintained Auditronics board, in fact, the same model as the boards sitting in WebDCR and the FM Studio. George Whitehead Dartmouth '61, Thayer '62 was able to get us the Auditronics board from NHPR due to his close connections with that station. George has come up to the stations multiple times from his home across the state in order to trouble shoot and give WebDCR the tender loving care that it really needs. Not only has he been working on the studios, he has also been working with students and imparting valuable knowledge to such interested students as Technical Director Tony Quincy '11 and WebDCR Program Director Shirine Sajjadi '11.

Dartmouth Broadcasting was fortunate enough to book President Wright for 30 minutes for a tour of the stations and an interview on our weekly public affairs show, The Weekly Debriefing. He came to the studios June 4th, before the transition to now President Kim. News Director Madison Rezaei '12 conducted the interview.

Relay for Life was a huge success, bringing in more than $23,000 during this recession. All said and done, the event with set up and break down took more than 20 hours straight. 99Rock was at center stage and lent our sound system to the different acts that entertained the Relay for Life participants. We also did some entertaining of our own, including DJ Grimmee (former Marketing Director Andy Sloan '11) and Blair Randal '11 taking requests between 11 and 1am. There were hours of fun times and we were able to enjoy live music, comedy groups and other acts. I just wanted to thank all of the Dartmouth Broadcasting staff who made an appearance and contributed what they could.

Amongst other things, this event was a live remote. The first two hours of the remote consisted of doing my afternoon shift in its entirety on location - including the 7 O'clock Cage Match. After the first two hours of the live remote, we phoned/martied in two breaks an hour until 10am the following morning.

A special thanks to all of our members who participated in Relay.

We had an extremely busy on the May 15th, 16th and 17th weekend that packed in four remotes in less than three days. We spent our Friday night at Benning St. Bar and Grill on Friday night. Then the next day, we had two remotes in two different states. We kicked off Saturday morning at the Richmond Middle School for the Singing For Life blood drive that benefited the American Red Cross. It was a gorgeous Saturday morning and there was a softball game raging in the field connected to the school. We had a young listener, Chris, hang out with us during the game because he loves radio and hated watching his sister pitch...and something hilarious happened.

Chris, age 10, asked General Manager Schuyler 'Sketch' Evans how he could get a job at 99Rock when he was older. Sketch told him that he needed to study hard so he could get into Dartmouth. At that, Chris told Sketch that his grades were 'crudish' and that he was not good at spelling. Chris asked Sketch if Sketch was good at spelling; Sketch replied weakly in the affirmative. Shortly thereafter, Chris heard an advertisement on 99Rock for Comcast and asked Sketch if he knew how to spell Comcast. "Sure, C-O-M-C-A-S-T-E." He completely blew it! An instant Dartmouth Broadcasting classic....

After the Singing for Life remote the Street Team spent the afternoon recuperating from giving blood and then headed into north country to the Bear Ridge Speedway for the opening night of the 2009 racing season. The street team consisted of over 9 people and had a great time watching the cars go in tight circles around the clay track. It unfortunately began raining and the night was cut short.

The following morning we were back into action for a live remote in front of the Hanover Inn, it was the Great Upper Valley Race benefiting Headrest. Headrest is a local substance abuse assistance center based out of Lebanon. Dartmouth Broadcasting made it into the D the next morning and looked pretty good. On top of getting a little free notoriety around campus, the D was nice enough to include a quote from a listener testifying to the fact that radio works - "Heard about it on the radio, and it sounded like a good idea and a lot of fun," Robert Diehm, a participant from Norwich, Vt., said. To read the full article, follow this link.

Here is our Weekend Overnight guy, Mayuki Shimizu '12. He was nice enough to stop on by and work with his homework during the remote.
