Media day at BC
By Lande Simpson
staff Writer
Many people around school may wonder
how student-athletes get the perfect pictures for
social media and the posters aroimd town. In this
article you can get the perfect insider look on
just how media day works.
What is “media day” exactly? Media day
is when collegiate teams take individual
headshots, team pictures and action shots for
their school’s social media page, website or for
the school’s sports team poster announcing a
certain team’s schedule.
For many student-athletes, especially
freshmen, media day is a big deal. It allows
team members to bond over putting on the
newest shoes and jerseys that the team has just
received for the season and to document the
season’s team. For freshmen, it is a chance to
see that the struggle of preseason is over and that
it is almost time to go out and finally compete.

During media day, there are multiple stations. Headshots,
team pictures, class pictures, action shots and a video
introducing yourself, your position, class and a message
to fans.
For headshots, it’s kind of like a portrait you would take
for the yearbook in elementary, middle or high school but
for the school’s athletic website.
Team pictures and class pictures were taken outside
of the Porter Center. Team pictures are pretty self
explanatory. The team adjusts themselves in a way where
everyone is visible and one coach is on the side to the left
and the other is on the side to the right. Class pictures are
a great way to keep memories and to watch how players
age each season. It is fun to compare class pictures from
freshman season to senior season.
Action shots are pictures of individual players doing
actions that they would typically do during a game. For
example, if you’re a volleyball player, you may act like
you’re setting, passing, digging or hitting.
Media day is a great way to kick off or end a team’s
season.

BC security report
The most recent security reports for Brevard
College have been released as of Monday, Aug.
26 at 12:35 p.m., according to Brevard College
Campus Security.
Things have been running smoothly so far this
year and there have not been any major security
issues. As everyone knows there was an issue
with the security cell phone, but it has now been
resolved and security can be reached at the same
number 24/7.
There was a situation where several students
were found in the vicinity of Ross Hall. The
building is very dangerous due to its structural
integrity and asbestos.
Therefore, students are reminded to stay away
as the building is scheduled to be demolished in
a couple of months.
Students are reminded to not prop open
outside doors of dorm buildings. This can
cause a serious security breach by allowing
unauthorized individuals to enter.
A number of individuals who are not affiliated
with the college walk across the campus daily.
Don’t risk your safety or the safety of your
fellow students.
A number of students have been observed on
Hoverboards on campus. Please be advised that
these are restricted from campus due to the fact
that their charging can be a fire hazard.
Students are reminded that alcohol
consumption is only allowed in designated
areas and is prohibited to people under the age
of twenty-one and is punishable by law.
Everyone is requested to contact Campus
Security at (828)-577-9590 if wrongful or
suspicious activity is observed on campus.
