Where else can a young person learn such important teaching tools about life? Granted, there are many cons that battle with the pros of organized sports, but the lessons that can be implemented through athletic competition are priceless. I know what you're saying, "Not everyone is an athlete," or "There's more to life than just sports!" I totally agree. That's not my argument. What I am saying is that organized sports are the greatest simulation of life and the advantage of participating in them is that the obstacles of life will have very few, if any, surprises to throw at you.
This past fall, Monarch Productions had the opportunity, excuse me, the privilege of tagging along with some great programs. One of the programs we followed this fall was the James River HS Women's Volleyball Team. This was great because it was the first time that MP followed a women's sport through a whole season, on the court and off. The Rapids had a tremendous season this year holding the top spot in the Central Region for most of the season. But, a heart-breaking, gut-wrenching match with the Eagles of Mills Godwin in the Central Region semifinals ended the Rapids season. The Eagles walked away with a 3-2 victory where the last set was won 15-13. Working with the young ladies of the Rapids volleyball team was a heart-warming experience for MP. Those young ladies absorbed us as part of their family and carried themselves with great class, respect and dignity; even when their season was ended by the loss to Mills Godwin. You can check out a highlight video of the JRHS Women's Volleyball team by clicking on the link or you can view it on our website.
Another inspiring group of young ladies that we had a chance to work with this fall were all the cheerleaders who participated in the Dominion District Cheerleading Competition as well as those who participated in the Central Region Cheerleading Competition. Whoever still wants to argue that Cheerleading isn't a sport needs to attend a cheering competition! These young ladies perform some of the most dangerous and acrobatic routines out of all sports! We admire the enthusiasm, intensity and hard work that all of these young ladies put into their performances. Congratulations to the top four squads in the Central Region: Manchester, J.R. Tucker, Deep Run, and James River. And a special congratulations to the Rapids of James River for being crowned champions of the Central Region. You can view a clip from the Central Region Cheerleading Competition by visiting the Sports Highlight Page of our website (it's the Tigers from J.R. Tucker).
The other program we had the privilege of following this year was the Meadowbrook Monarchs football team. It baffles our minds the passion, the athleticism, the drive, the effort, and the love demonstrated by these fine young men. A season characterized by a new head coach, a new era, was everything it was made out to be: a great season! The Monarch were picked to finish third or fourth in the Central District in preseason and it came as a surprise to everyone in the Region, except for the Monarchs, when they grasped the number one spot and held on to it for seven weeks during the season. An unfortunate last minute one-point loss to Thomas Dale in week nine has put the Monarchs playoff fate in the hands of another team. Whatever their fate may be, the Monarchs have had a great season thus far and should be proud of their success. You can view a recap of the Monarch's season by clicking on the link.

Monarch Productions is excited to be covering the most prestigious strength and conditioning clinic to be held on the east coast in 2009. The Central Virginia Sports Performance Seminar is being held April 17 - 19 at the University of Richmond's Robins Center/Jepson Hall. This seminar was strategically designed by one of the hardest working college Strength Coaches in the country, Jay DeMayo. DeMayo is the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the University of Richmond Men's and Women's Basketball Programs. Throughout his tenure in the field of strength training DeMayo has garnered the respect and praise of some of the most worldly renown experts in his field, and has established working relationships with those individuals. Using this to his advantage, he has created an event that will allow participants to learn the most recent and innovative training techniques and skills from the most experienced and knowledgeable experts in that field. College and high school coaches from up and down the east coast will be in attendance to gain a tremendous advantage on preparing their respective programs for the future. To get more information on the speakers at this clinic and additional information, visit the seminar's website at www.centralvasportperformanceseminar.com And to discuss payment options you can contact Jay DeMayo directly by shooting him an email at jdemayo@richmond.edu
Some other hard working individuals in Central Virginia are the young men of the Douglas Freeman Lacrosse Team. Monarch Productions has been following the Freeman Lax team for the 2009 season and while the Rebels got off to a slow start this season, mainly because of a young team, they are climbing back to the top with three big wins just recently. This is the first time that Monarch Productions has covered Lacrosse and it has definitely been an enjoyable process. If you're interested in checking out a Lacrosse game, which is recommend if you have never seen one, then visit the rebels homepage at www.rebelslax.com .
In a game of poker, two of a kind usually won't get you much. But with Meadowbrook Football, two of a kind will get you a district championship, four central region runner-ups, a regional championship, a state championship, and a first-class program. And that's all in just the last six seasons! That two of a kind would happen to be Bill Bowles and Dewey Windham. In an atmosphere where hip-hop music, glorification of money, saggy pants, violence, sex and disrespect dominate the brain cells of teenagers, how exactly do you get the results you set out to accomplish? You follow Bill Bowles and Dewey Windham. The young men, past and present, that Bowles and Windham coached at Meadowbrook were in need of guidance. They were in need of direction, a sense of self, better yet, a respect of self. Along with other coaches such as Bill Gray, these young men were lead by men who delivered a message. A message that created hope, family, integrity, honor, faith, and love. What these coaches have given to the many young, dedicated men of Monarch Football can not be measured or denied. The departure of Bowles, Windham, and Gray is a sad one. We are confident Monarch Football will be left in good hands, but we will forever be in debt to the men who revived the Meadowbrook Community. With your honor, your generosity, and your love you have brought us back to life. We love you Coach Bowles, Coach Windham, and Coach Gray. You are Meadowbrook Football!
For the past several years, Kevin Heraldo has been running a very successful 24 hour film competition at the College of William & Mary. The surprising fact is that Kevin actually helped to start this film competition while he was attending W&M as a student. Kevin explains that he enjoys watching students from all majors, not just film students, participate in the 24 hour film competition. "There are a lot of things, besides making a film, to be learned by participating in a film competition," says Heraldo. "Students have to learn to work as a team and they definitely get a newfound respect for meeting deadlines!" Kevin surely does not make many friends during these film competitions seeing as he is the one who disqualifies teams if they turn in their film at 6:01pm and the deadline is 6:00pm. "That's the real world, get used to it. These students need to learn how the world works and the world doesn't extend deadlines because you can't manage your time correctly."
Speaking of deadlines, how would you like to have a deadline every day! Sound Engineer (for Monarch Productions) and Independent Recording Artist, Bryce McCormick has committed himself to a project that takes deadlines to a new level. Bryce has pledged to write and produce a new song every day for a whole year! Bryce has been going strong for two whole months now and hasn't missed one day. You can listen to all of Bryce's songs and follow a day by day log of how his journey is going at www.writebeforeright.blogspot.com. Bryce also performs live from 7:30pm-9:30pm every friday night at Zuppa's (www.zuppa.org) in downtown Richmond, VA.
Make sure to keep your eyes and ears open for new projects from Monarch Productions in the near future. Monarch Productions has teamed up with Twyce as Nyce Productions to bring Central Virginia an entertaining and informative new show that will help promote local businesses and organizations. And don't forget to keep checking out the website for new updates and videos that MP has completed. Check out the latest addition to the Sports Highlight page: ODU Lady Monarchs Women's BBall Highlights!
Marc Megna, seen here on the cover of Natural Muscle with his lovely girlfriend Melanie, is a great long time friend of MP. Randy and Marc have trained together and also are both former football players for the University of Richmond Spiders (who, by the way won the 2008 National Championship). Marc has also done some great work as on-camera talent for MP in the past. Though Marc is a model and actor, that doesn't get in the way of his real passion: personal training. Being a tier III trainer at Equinox in South Beach, Marc has helped many individuals reach personal goals and accomplishments in their lifestyles. You can read an article on Marc's amazing achievements in this month's issue of Natural Muscle.
You can also read an article on Marc in Ocean Drive Magazine, the frontline magazine of South Beach, in which he is praised for his passion in helping his clients not only get in shape, but also change their lifestyles (That article is on page 2).
MP also had the privilege of meeting and befriending Mechelle Lewis, a US Olympian who ran the 2nd leg of the women's 4x100 in Bejing. Mechelle has a tremendously inspiring story of life in which athletics played a huge part! Mechelle's website ( www.mechellelewis.com ) is a definite recommendation for everyone. You can read about the hard road that Mechelle traveled to get to where she is now and also follow her journey to London over the next four years for the 2012 Olympics! MP looks forward to working with Mechelle in the near future to help promote track & field athletics and also to inspire people with the amazing story of Mechelle Lewis!
Monarch Productions pieced together an outstanding staff of talented individuals for this year's 48HFP in Richmond, VA. The requirements for the MP team were:
Film Genre: Silent Film
Character: Sylvester Barlow
Occupation: Classical Musician
Prop: A Feather
Line of Dialogue: "Tell me, what's the difference."
This was the first year MP participated in the 48HFP and it was a great experience for everyone involved! Not only did we have great crowd involvement at the screening, but we walked away with two awards: Best Music & Honorable Mention for Audience Award. You can check out our film entitled, "Instrument of Choice," at our website.
On the corporate side of our business we landed a major contract with the Rolls Royce & Bentley Owner's Club this past year. We had the privilege of covering the RROC annual convention in Williamsburg, VA, where we were exposed to some of the most amazing automobiles in the world.
Another successful branch in our business this past year was in sports highlights. We've just recently launched a bigger, better and much improved sports highlights department of our business. This past year we've had the opportunity to help more than 30 high school student-athletes earn college scholarships to academic institutions all over the country!
Be sure to visit our website and keep up to date on all of our new experiences and accomplishments in 2009. Happy New Year!
Kevin works alongside college film students at the College of William & Mary for one of their short film projects. Having a positive impact on the lives of the youth is an exciting priority for Monarch Productions!
In 2004 the Meadowbrook Monarch Football Team won the AAA Division 5 State Championship. It was only the third time in school history the Monarchs had made it to the post-season. Bill Bowles and his staff have had one of the most successful programs in Central Virginia in the past 5 years.
Randy has been a counselor, administrator and executive for the Chesterfield County Leadership Institute since its origin in 1999. Randy helps young leaders in the Chesterfield County Public School System develop their leadership skills and hone in on their strengths as influential figures in their respective schools.
In June 2007 MP headed up to New York to videotape a conference hosted by Carson Systems, a UK based company that specializes in web application and web-based event planning. Not knowing what to expect, MP accepted the job with the full intentions of impressing the high class world of web applications with their professionalism and enthusiastic work ethic.
"The people of Carson Systems are of the utmost class and professionalism," says Randy West of MP. "Ryan Carson (founder and director of Carson Systems) was very welcoming and provided Kevin and I with everything we needed to get the job done efficiently and quickly."
The conference provided a who's who of speakers in the web applications field. From VideoClix and PayPerPost to Yahoo and Google AdSense, companies worldwide sent speakers to this conference to inform audience members on the newest and most effective ways to market and advertise using the web.
Experiencing this conference was not only a job for MP, but also a learning tool. Watching Ryan and his team conduct this conference and bring so many prospective clients to these different organizations helped MP gain insight on the many aspects of entrepreneurship.
Fortunately this will not be the only chance MP has to experience a Carson Sytems event. Due to their hard work and quick turnover, MP was invited (hired) to cover Carson Systems' next conference in London in early October 2007. Hopefully this is a relationship that will continue to grow and provide a pathway to success for both parties.
