Often seen as a poor relation to its often more complex Election Night (EN), CIN is actually a great proving ground for those people who go on to produce the epic beast that is EN and the first opportunity for all those new members to experience the often organised chaos that goes hand in hand with YSTV's large braodcasting events. | Often seen as a poor relation to its often more complex cousin Election Night (EN), CIN is actually a great proving ground for those people who go on to produce the epic beast that is EN and the first opportunity for all those new members to experience the often organised chaos that goes hand in hand with YSTV's large braodcasting events. | ||
And so it came to pass that Volunteers were asked to step up and take responsibility for the 1996 CIN production. When the call went out two people answered; [[Clare Mace]] would handle the production side of the evening and [[Chris Parker]] (making his second appearance as a first year) would handle the XLR and BNC side of the event. | And so it came to pass that Volunteers were asked to step up and take responsibility for the 1996 CIN production.

The last station meeting before the event revealed a few more holes in the running order but hey there wasn't a lot we could do, besides we had come off the back of [[Election Night 1996]] a show which contained an additional 5 hours of unplanned and unscripted content. But the good news was that the live event promised to be the only music gig in the last 3 years that had a crowd greater than that of 10 overseas students, 3 YUSU ents techs and Alan the porter. | The last station meeting before the event revealed a few more holes in the running order but hey there wasn't a lot we could do, besides we had come off the back of [[Election Night 1996]] a show which contained an additional 5 hours of unplanned and unscripted content.

The rest of the meeting was taken up with the usual 45 minutes slanging match over where to get the pre-show pizzas from. | ||
After retiring to Goodricke Bar for Port and Cigars comment was passed to the bar maid Maureen on how busy it would be on Friday. This was met by a blank and vacant expression that was more pronounced than usual. After explaining how Goodricke Bar was about to become the most popular bar on campus and that she might need more staff and plastic glasses, Maureen pottered off asked Alan the prorter and the Goodricke Ents rep what the hell was happening she came back and assured us that the Bar would be ready to serve its usual mixture of warm fosters and University of York Wine. | After retiring to Goodricke Bar for Port and Cigars comment was passed to the bar maid Maureen on how busy it would be on Friday.

===T Minus 1 Day=== | |||
Twas the night before CIN and all was quiet, well apart from [[Chris Parker]], [[Sophie Dennis]], [[Andy Robinson]] and [[John Barratt]] being entrenched is debates over the positioning of camera towers and sound desks and what would happen when the title sequence started to roll (Think of a scene from the West Wing and you'll get the picture). The atmosphere from a few days ago of 'it all be alright on the night' was replaced with genuine concern that despite the best efforts of Clare, Chris, Sophie, Andy and John the programme could come crashing down around our ears. Planning continued through the night or at least until the collective stress levels had decreased to mild panic. | |||
==The Programme== | |||
For Children in Need 1996, YSTV organised a band night in Goodricke dining room, featuring two campus bands - {{unsure|Sevenball and Brubaker}}. There were cameras in the dining room filming the bands, plus a live programme from the YSTV studio. | For Children in Need 1996, YSTV organised a band night in Goodricke dining room, featuring two campus bands - {{unsure|Sevenball and Brubaker}}.
