Next up, the awesomely-well-choreographed performance of Banana Splitz, a new dance troupe in Bellingham consisting of Kelly Björk, Brenda Brown and Lenae Day. Banana Splitz opened the Winter Commission and set the quality bar for the rest of the evening.

Some recording notes: The evening opened, of course, with a technical glitch. As the Splitz took the stage for the first time, the audio immediately crapped out with a “pop”. The ever well-prepared Anjali ran back on stage and regaled the audience with tales from the dark realms of science as the AV crew scrambled to figure out what the heck went wrong. We still don’t know what went wrong. We plugged the audio source directly into the board and called it good. The Splitz were good sports about the whole thing, but for the purposes of brevity, the preceding video edits out the tense bit.

The following video consists of 3 sources. My (sort-of) trusty HV20, Jubal’s camcorder, and a the video (I’m guessing from an iPhone?) Kelly sent me. There were a lot of people walking in front of the various video sources so it took a good deal of editing to get a good shot of the stage at all times. Hope you enjoy!
