Deanna Hatch Films Girls' WHP Varsity Hockey for Pembroke Community Media Center

“One, two, three, W, H, P!” is the cheer the Whitman/Hanson/Pembroke girls' varsity high school hockey team shouts prior to the start of play for their games which this year all are being filmed by Pembroke Community Media Center volunteer, Deanna Hatch, using professional-grade cameras and tripods.

The resultant edited videos start and end with original “Welcome to the Show” music by Kevin MacLeod, have graphics identifying key plays and penalties, and keep viewers in step with the action. 

According to Deanna, “We put a lot of time into recording and editing each game and getting the DVD's to Coach, and everybody appreciates that.  Other parents may not realize how much time goes into each video, but they know it's a lot of work.”

 Deanna's daughter, Mel, is one of two keepers for WHP which claims the Bridgewater Ice Arena(BIA) as its home rink.  William Flynn is head coach. WHP is in the Southeastern MA girls' Hockey League south Division I, and has the motto:  “Three Towns + Two Schools = One Team.” The three towns are Whitman, Hanson, and Pembroke; and the two schools are Whitman/Hanson and Pembroke High School.

 Dan Mastrogiacomo, Dana Battista, and Adelia DeSisto  are assistant coaches this 2012-2013 season which spans from the beginning of last month, December 8^th, to February 20th's final game against Mansfield which will be played at 3:30 pm at Hobomock instead of BIA.

 There are still 14 games in this 23-game-season between now and then, starting tomorrow at 6pm with WHP meeting the Barnstable Red Raiders at Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink, 141 Basset Lane, Hyannis. 

If you're wondering how Deanna is able to travel to each and every game, join the club.  She's been heard saying “I can never get enough of this,” referring to girl's hockey games.  Perhaps that is motivation enough for the tireless hours of driving, filming, and fund raising she does for WHP, and did for Titans Girls' Field Hockey September through November.

“Deanna is great and has always been great,” said Ann Ryerson, program director for Pembroke Community Media Center's web-based media company, referring to Ms. Hatch's devoted coverage of girls' field hockey and hockey. “Even with a family and full-time job, she keeps going. I applaud her 'wonderfulness.'”

The 2nd Meeting House in Pembroke Has Been Here 300 Years

“The 2^nd Meeting House in Pembroke” is also the “First Church in Pembroke,” existing on the same spot in town center for 300 years. CLICK HERE to see an original letter dated September 8, 1856.  It's framed and hanging on the back wall of the sanctuary protected by a thin sheet of glass.      

Be a part of this December 24^th, 2012, 300^th Anniversary Christmas Eve celebration, and see how pretty it looks in the dark with only candles burning while people sing “Silent Night.”

“This is my favorite time of the year,” current pastor Richard Giragosian says to his congregation, “not just because it's Christmas, but because all our young adults are back from college and other places, and leading us in this service. They lead us by reading the Scriptures and lighting the candles up on the alter that you see, lighting our Christ candle as well.”

"I Love Watching Myself on Stage", a PCMS 7th Grader Told Us

CLICK HERE for the one-minute, 6-second excerpt.

 

It was the first time on stage for some Pembroke Community Middle School musicians on December 4^th at this season's initial winter concert in the high school auditorium.  One female performer who saw the camera before the show told us that she just loves watching footage of herself on-stage.

And who doesn't? 

This video was filmed by PHS freshman Ethan McCue who himself played saxophone in the same concert last year.

First up is Director Thomas Hovey's Jazz Band playing “A Darker Shade of Gray,” followed by the old Blood, Sweat, and Tears classic, “Spinning Wheel.” Next the 7^th Grade Concert Band pounded out an all-time bull-fighting favorite, “Espana Cani.”  You'll recognize the tune, if not the name, when you hear it.

Theresa Fritz and Alex Shepherd also directed their groups of Celtic Music Club, Orchestra, and 8^th Grade Concert Band.

Full length versions are available from Pembroke Association for Performing Arts (PAPA), or by calling 781-910-8899.  This version will NOT be on TV, is the only one filmed by Pembroke students, and is adjusted so the sound  is clearer than at the concert itself.

Bryantville Chorus Sings “Light a Little Candle.”

Bryantville Elementary students traveled to Pembroke High School's auditorium on December 18^th for their annual winter concert.  CLICK HERE for a 54-second clip that's well worth the “click.”

Our favorite part is the chorus's “Light a Little Candle” which moves, moves, moves as children bounce to the quick, haunting rhythm. “Blast away the trouble that keeps us apart. Light a little flame burning bright in your heart.”

Pembroke Community Media Center's full-length, edited version is the only version filmed by students, will NOT be on TV, and is available on DVD through Pembroke Association for the Performing Arts(PAPA).or phoning  781-910-8899.  Sound was adjusted for better sound than at the concert itself, and the colors are crisp and clear.

Pembroke Community Media Center has a Half-Hour Church Service for You

"Even more important than monetary contributions, is the time and caring that we give to one another," announces a parishioner during "The Deacon Moment."

This half-hour service is chock full of such thoughtful moments. Beginning with shoes and boots donated to comfort the feet of Boston's needy, Pastor Giragosian assisting a young girl lighting the candle on the altar, and a mother cradling her restless child; not a moment passes that we don't view some example of caring within the congregation itself.

 

It's the annual event, "Barefoot Sunday," at the First Church in Pembroke, Massachusetts.  Uncharacteristically gracing the alter is a substantial and colorful pile of new footwear destined to shod the feet of the city's less fortunate. 

The sermon is an entertaining litany of the funny things people do while waiting for an elevator car to arrive or a traffic light to change.  Pastor Giragosian uses those comical situations to ask what people do and can do while waiting for God.  The answer isn't much of a surprise, so I'll just tell you.  It's “look busy and be busy” caring and helping others.

Visit the 1st Church in Pembroke for 5 Minutes

Did you know that “The First Church in Pembroke” is also “The Second Meeting House in Pembroke?”

The building was erected in 1727 under the guidance of the first Minister Daniel Lewis, and served as the gathering place of The Patriots for 16 years spanning from 1760 to 1776.  The present structure was built after the original was destroyed in 1837.

Filmed on November 25th, 2012 by community volunteer Heather Lapham, this 4 minute, 42 second peek into the First Church during a service is just the thing to satisfy your Sunday worship needs.

See an old church drawing and the beautiful sanctuary chandelier, read an original note now encased in glass, take a bulletin from the ushers, sing a song, and wave “goodbye.”   There.  You went to church and enjoyed it too.

Yes You Can, with Pembroke Community Media Center

If you were waiting for a personal invitation to join Pembroke Community Media Center, here it is.

“Dear Human, Please volunteer!” You need us as much as we need you.  If you're not already a part of the excitement, chances are that you know someone who is.

We have people who film, edit,  drive children to and from our cub scout go-and-see-its and sets/appointments, bring cookies and flowers, produce, carry equipment on-site, appear as guests on shows, leave notebooks and winter coats behind by mistake, and come around just to hang out.

One thing's missing, though, and that's you.

Pembroke Community Media Center was created independently by Pembroke residents, originally for Pembroke residents, friends, and neighbors.

If you enjoy the programming at www.yourpcmc.com,  but don't have time to volunteer, you can still be a supporter and have your name or your business represented on our website,  acknowledged in one of these mailings, and posted at www.yourpcmc.blogspot.com. Or you can remain anonymous, as some have preferred. 'Fact is, we wouldn't exist without the support of our donors contributing towards the cost of cameras, tripods, and other supplies.

Catch South Coastal Hockey League Games Here

Pembroke Community Media Center has the South Coastal Men's Hockey Games playing at www.yourpcmc.com. 

Our favorite game is the October 21st over age 50 Legends Division struggle between the Stingers and Sharks. The yellow and black uniformed Stingers were slated to win this game of the week.

They even looked like stinging bees as they snuck the first goal between the Sharks' Goalie's legs. 

Multiple cameras allowed a prime view of the ice action. 

The Sharks got in more shots, but the Stingers had better aim.  It was OK viewing, so I don't want to say any more in case you have yet to catch it. 

The South Coastal Hockey League first started playing in Pembroke at the Hobomock Arena in April 1989, over 23 years ago.   Games start Sunday nights beginning at 6:40 and 9:40pm, with the 9 pm game being featured.

Watch the video HERE.

Matthew Kreckie Produces Pembroke 300 Video Tribute

Promising young filmmaker Matthew Kreckie on December 1st made a commemorative video of Pembroke's 300th Anniversary brick walkway replete with Peter Glass's commissioned piece "Mattakeesett" for background music.

Although this is the first 300th event Matt has covered, it is not his first video.  Two YouTube channels carry his work, and each of those channels has multiple subscribers.

Matt is especially adept at green screen utilization and editing with industry-standard, professional Final Cut X software.

Matt is a freshman at Pembroke High School, involved in thespian endeavors, and on the swim team which has a demanding schedule of daily practices or meets after school.

Although the commemorative bricks are printed rather than engraved, Matt more than compensates for the flaw with his fine filming and editing.

"People will have this record of their bricks after they get walked on and the ink wears off," Matt said, "so at least they can watch the show I'm making to remember what was there."

CLICK HERE to view the video.
