Highlights
"Our Versalite platforms are wonderful, easy to work with and fast to set up," says Dr. Joseph Scagnoli, Associate Director of the School of Music at Ball State University. "We use them as risers for our instrumental concerts, including wind ensemble, symphonic bands and orchestra." Adds Scagnoli, "And they are also available for other events around our campus."
Scagnoli appreciates the flexibility Versalite offers, including a variety of leg heights. Previously, BSU used fixed-leg plywood risers. Versalite platforms lock together securely - in a variety of configurations - to create a firm, solid surface. "They don't shift or move when you walk on them, unlike some non-Wenger platforms I've experienced," comments Scagnoli. The side staircase offers easy access, with two handrails for greater safety. To prevent chairs from sliding off seated risers, Versalite chair stops clamp on quickly and easily, without tools.
Storage carts are another Versalite accessory that Scagnoli appreciates. "They make set up and tear down very easy - nothing has to be carried long distance," he says. "Our new music building is outfitted almost entirely with Wenger equipment," says Scagnoli. "We looked at Wenger first because of their reputation, their quality and how they stand behind their products." In his 40-year career, including both high school and college, Scagnoli has visited many different schools. "I've always found Wenger equipment to be consistently good quality, durable and functional."
