SportAccord Opening Ceremony
During the opening ceremony of SportAccord, a 5-day gathering of 1,500 leading representatives from international sport, Scott served as the Executive Producer. In the spirit of the American West, street performers and cowgirls on horseback lined the route guests took to the historic Ellie Caulkins Opera House. The evening began with a performance by the Colorado Ballet accompanied by a video montage of great Westerns of American cinema filmed in the stunning landscapes of Colorado. Act two featured nearly 50 dancers from the Rocky Mountain School of Dance who used their bodies to recreate some of the iconic images of the Denver scene from behind an illuminated screen. The third and final act of the evening was the ultimate party band, Earth, Wind & Fire, who had delegates boogieing at their seats.

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or ceremony:
“Just opening up the door, having this ordinary person fly, says a lot for the future. You can always equate astronauts with explorers who were subsidized. Now you are getting someone going just to observe. And then you’ll have the settlers.”
—Christa McAuliffe (1948–1986)
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
