Wednesday, July 27th, 2011
Herald Trumpets sounded a fanfare for the “National Geographic Evening of Exploration: Oceans” Inaugural Gala at the Society’s D.C. headquarters. The ocean-themed event, transformed the cafeteria into an underwater extravaganza. Guests walked a blue carpet, then found themselves surrounded by coral and seaweed draped from the ceiling and scenes of marine life swimming on the walls. The evening celebrated the work of its Explorers-in-Residence, Fellows, and Emerging Explorers, and honored three individuals. Scientists from the International Space Station sent a personal shout-out for their astronauts’ view of the world’s oceans, which cover 70 percent of the earth. As guests entered for dinner, two herald trumpets sounded the ever-recognizable National Geographic fanfare. Kudos to Syzygy for the decor, Atmosphere for the lighting, Olivera Music Entertainment for the music, and Gardner Mills Group as executive producers for a spectacular production!
