Leroy High School - Leroy, IL - Football field, extended track, baseball diamond and softball diamond

I contacted Bill about the possibility of putting an upgrade on the sound system at our football field/track complex as well as adding a sound system to our baseball/softball complex. Bill arranged a meeting quickly and put together some pricing. Bill was very fair in his amounts and his estimates and was willing to work with us to make this purchase manageable. Once the decision was made the delivery and install were professionally done and Bill took the time to answer questions and show us how to properly use the equipment. Finally the day of the install we had a minor adjustment to our baseball/softball facility to make it more user friendly Bill accommodated us without it affecting the total cost of the project. We have had several home baseball/softball games in which we have heard nothing but positive feedback and our track program is excited about the use of the sound system for home meets. The sound system when heard on the football field is of outstanding quality and will add to the Friday night experience! Using Center Stage has been a sound choice for the LeRoy school district and one that we have no trouble recommending to other districts in the sound system market! Service was very timely and done professionally.

Thanks Bill!

Bill,
The sound system that we purchase from Center Stage Inc/Music Factory.
has been very good to us at Clinton High School. Every fan that has been to our field
has had nothing but good things to say about our sound system. The
quality is excellent and user friendly. Our PA person raved about the
system.

Thanks

Wheaton North High School
Dear Bill,

I wanted to take the time to thank you very much for the awesome sound system that you installed in the gym at Wheaton North High School, February 2004. Your Knowledge and professionalism made it easy for us to understand the system. What a difference it makes when you explained to us and we understood how the system works.

We went from 14 speakers to 4 speakers. During our first event in the gym, the principal, parents and students noticed the improvements immediately; they were all commenting on our great new sound system.

The sound system was truly an excellent investment for our school. The sound is crystal clear and made the acoustics sound fantastic.

Again, thank you for an awesome job well done. Anyone looking for a system to invest in, I highly recommend The Music Factory and Bill Fry to install your system.

Circuit Court of Illinois - Warren County Courthouse - Monmouth, IL
Dear Mr. Fry:
Now that the installations of the sound systems in the Warren and Henderson
County courthouses are complete, I wish to express my gratitude and my sincere
appreciation for the work that you have done in both counties. I am extremely
satisfied with the proposals that you provided me, with the work that was done, and
with the quality of the systems that you installed. The systems that you
recommended were exactly what was needed in our courtrooms. The installation of
a sound amplification system in Warren County has been needed for many years.
The sound system installed a few years ago in Henderson County by one of your
competitors was inadequate for the needs. Fortunately, storm damage allowed us
the opportunity to replace and upgrade that system as well as install the enhanced
listening device.

The quality of the systems that you suggested are excellent. We have
operated the one in Warren County for several months without the slightest
difficulty. The higher grade microphones are both aesthetically pleasing and
sufficiently sensitive to permit the voices of the soft-spoken witnesses and attorneys
to be received and amplified. We have had nothing but compliments regarding the
system.

The speed and workmanship of the installations were also first-rate. The
electrician with whom you worked in each county has expressed his appreciation for your knowledge and cooperation in the installation process. Additionally, I truly
appreciate that you, worked within the court’s calendar so as to avoid unnecessary
interruptions including your willingness to work on the weekends when the courts
were closed. I especially want to thank you for the additional work done to install
and integrate the infrared enhanced listening devices in each county. These devices
allow us to become compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and provide
the required devices to assist persons with hearing impairments. These devices have
been tested and used several times. The devices merged with your sound systems
without any difficulty.

The professionalism with which you approached our needs was beyond
reproach. I look forward to working with you in the future as the budgets in Warren
and Henderson County permits me to add additional features. I intend to replace the
last two microphones in the Henderson County courtroom as soon as possible and
would like to consider the purchase of additional lapel microphones for both
counties.

Again, thank you for your assistance on these projects. I couldn’t be more
pleased with the process and the results. I have no complaints, only kudos.

Carthage High School

Bill Fry installed a new sound system in our gymnasium at Carthage High School in
Carthage, Illinois. He did an excellent job and I would highly recommend him to anyone
who wants a high quality sound system at an excellent price.

As President of the Carthage Sports Boosters, our club decided to raise money for a new sound system. We wanted something versatile that could be used for sporting events, assemblies, graduation, band concerts, and many other activities. Bill Fry used his expertise to install a sound system to satisfy all our needs and meet our budget. He went the extra mile to help us get the best system at the best price.

For the installation, Bill helped us take down our old system which was big and bulky.
He ran into problems removing our old system because it was so heavy; however, he
never complained. After Bill installed the system, he spent time training us on how to
run it. He patiently answered all of our questions. Everyone loved it. Our school
administration, clubs, and community have been very pleased.

Our new sound system both looks and sounds great and is very easy to use. I would
highly recommend Bill Fry to install your sound system. He is truly a professional.
Please feel free to contact me at 2 17-357-6632 or e-mail me.

Warsaw High School

I am writing to recommend Bill Fry and his company The Music Factory to provide your
equipment and services for sound systems. Mr. Fry’s equipment and service are topnotch. He has come to our aid on numerous occasions and “rescued the day”.

Dealing with an antiquated system in our gymnasium, Mr. Fry came in and saved us two days before graduation. The next year he came and got us in position to handle the busy basketball season. Realizing that we had to do something to service the crowds in our gym, Mr. Fry was able to devise a system that we could install in stages, to make it affordable. When complete we will have a premier system in our gym that was designed, supplied, installed and serviced by him.

I feel fully comfortable in recommending Mr. Fry and the Music Factory to you as a design, provide, install and service your system. Feel free to call me if you wish. (217) 256-4282

Sincerely,
Tom Bertucci

Oquawka United Methodist Church - Oquawka, IL

The new sound system we purchased from you is serving the church very well. We are
so very pleased with the service and attention you gave us. None of us knew much about sound systems when we called you.

Working with church committees is not an easy assignment, but you were well informed on the products that might best serve our little church. Knowing we had limited funds, you went to work to give us the most for our dollars. We appreciate your efforts in our behalf.

The family members who gave the memorial gift in memory of their mother were so very pleased with the system you installed for us. At the dedication service they were able to use the hand mic to speak of their mother’s love and dedication to our church.

It has been our pleasure to work with you. We would be happy to recommend you to
others who might have need of similar services. We put ourselves in your hands and you did not disappoint us. From the moment of inquiry, right through to installation, you made yourself available to us.

Thanks Bill, we appreciate your good work and fine service.

Sincerely,
Rev. Suzanne Geer, Pastor
