Schools & graduations
A graduation everyone in the stands can actually see.
Every name read aloud, every face crossing the stage, blown up large enough that the family in the last row of the bleachers sees it as clearly as the front. One 17-foot mobile LED screen turns a folding-chair ceremony into the moment students remember — and we run the whole thing for you.
School events live and die by whether the crowd can see what's happening. A graduation seats hundreds of families across a gym or a stadium; a pep rally packs the whole student body into the bleachers. From the back rows, the actual moment — a diploma handed over, a senior video, a state-championship banner — shrinks to a dot. A 17-foot mobile LED screen fixes that in one move: the live feed goes up large and bright, and the entire crowd shares the same moment at the same time.
Next Level Mobile Media, a division of DoneRightTV, brings the screen to schools across the Quad Cities — Davenport and Bettendorf, Moline and Rock Island, and the surrounding Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois communities. The screen arrives on its own trailer, sets up fast, and runs the entire event with our technician on site, so your staff and volunteers can focus on the students instead of the AV.
School events draw the biggest crowds your town turns out for.

Graduations where the back row sees every name
The hardest seat at any graduation is the one a grandparent gets stuck in — back corner of the gym, sightline blocked by a column, watching the ceremony happen somewhere past a sea of mortarboards. The 17-foot screen erases that seat. Point a camera at the podium and the live feed (IMAG) goes up large enough that the whole stadium watches each student cross the stage in real time, name and face together.
Between walkers, the same screen carries a senior slideshow, class photos, the valedictorian's words in readable type, or a sponsor and booster loop quietly running in the corners. Because the LED is daylight-readable and high-brightness, an afternoon outdoor ceremony stays sharp in full sun — and an evening one stays crisp right through dusk, the moment that usually defeats a projector.
Pep rallies, homecoming, and game-night atmosphere
A pep rally is energy management — and a big screen is how you aim it at a packed gym. Run hype videos and team intros, throw the cheer squad and the crowd up on a live camera so students react to seeing themselves, score a homecoming court reveal with full-screen graphics. The picture is sharp enough to read clearly from the back of the bleachers and bold enough to hold a noisy crowd's attention.
Outside, the same screen anchors a homecoming tailgate or a Friday-night atmosphere: replays, a sponsor loop that thanks the local businesses funding the boosters, the band and the alumni up where everyone can see them. NFHS leadership points to high school sports as a thriving community tradition — the screen is how you turn game night into the gathering the whole town shows up for.
Movie nights on the field — low-lift, high-impact
An outdoor movie on the football field is one of the easiest big wins a school can put on, and the screen is the part that makes it land. The events that feel magic aren't the ones with the most planning — they're the ones where every family on the 50-yard line and every kid up against the end zone can see it clearly and hear it well. A 17-foot LED screen does both: it holds a sharp, bright picture long after a projector would have washed out, so the movie starts at real dusk instead of waiting for full dark.
Run it as a fundraiser, a back-to-school welcome, or an end-of-year send-off. We deliver the screen, set it up, run the feed, and tear it down — your committee handles the popcorn and the blankets. (Planning one? Our outdoor movie night checklist walks through the details.)
How it comes together.
Tell us the date
Send us your date, your venue — gym, stadium, parking lot, or field — and roughly how many people you're expecting. We'll confirm the screen fits the space, sort out power, and build a clear quote with no guesswork on your end.
We deliver & run it
The screen arrives on its trailer and sets up fast. An on-site technician handles the live feed, your videos, slideshows, and sponsor loops, and stays for the whole event so your staff never has to touch the AV. Delivery, setup, the tech, and teardown are all included.
You enjoy the event
You watch your students cross the stage, your team take the field, or your community spread out across the field for movie night — every seat with a clear view. When it's over, we pack up and haul out.
Schools & graduations: common questions
How big is the screen, and will everyone be able to see it?
It's a single 17 ft × 10 ft mobile LED screen — about 170 square feet of high-brightness, daylight-readable picture. The image is sharp up close and clear from the far end of a stadium or gym, so the back rows see the same moment as the front. For a graduation or rally, that means every name and face reads clearly from anywhere in the seats.
Will it hold up in daylight or full sun?
Yes. It's a high-brightness LED screen built to stay readable outdoors, including afternoon graduations and tailgates in direct sun — the situation where a projector usually fails. It also stays crisp through dusk, so evening movie nights and ceremonies look clean from start to finish.
Does our school need to provide power or equipment?
No. The screen runs off its own onboard generator, or it can tie into your venue power if that's easier — your call. It arrives trailer-mounted and self-contained, and our technician brings and runs everything needed for the feed. You don't need to supply AV gear or staff.
What can we actually put on the screen?
A live camera feed (IMAG) of the stage or field, pre-recorded video like senior tribute reels and hype clips, photo slideshows, full-screen graphics, and a quiet sponsor or booster loop. If you want a custom intro, sponsor reel, or graphics package designed, content design is available as an add-on alongside extra hours, multi-day, and travel.
