Designer's notes: 
I was Head of Wristbands for the 60th Anniversary Diamond Gala of the National Youth Theatre at the Shaftesbury Theatre on the 18th September 2016. I was in charge of designing, programming and operating 1300 CrowdSync LED wristbands working with the LD and Director to achieve what they envisaged. The wristbands were mainly used in the dances and songs. There were several prestigious alumni there on the evening including Timothy Dalton and Matt Smith.
