Rob Reider Air Show Announcer

Rob Reider - air show announcer, recipient of the coveted ICAS "Sword of Excellence," entertainer,
pilot, Midwest television personality, singer, performer, writer, and winner of 5 Emmy awards has
put all his experience into bringing the excitement of air shows “up close and personal”
to audiences all over the country.

2007 was an outstanding year for Rob. On December 13 at the International Council of Air Shows
(ICAS) Convention in Las Vegas, he received the ICAS "Sword of Excellence," the highest award
an air show professional can receive.

He's recognized by pilots around the country as the on-camera host for Sporty's Pilot Shops
pilot training videos.

All of his entertainment, show business, video, and aviation experience have given him the ability to
communicate the excitement of air shows to the audience. "I've never gotten over just how amazing
air show performers are," Rob says. "Narrating a show is a wonderful opportunity to try to put an audience
'into the cockpit.' Besides, when I'm announcing, I have the best seat in the house!"

While still a college student in Cincinnati, Rob began work as a singer and co-host of a live, daily talk-variety
show that was broadcast in 4 cities in the midwest. During his 13-year career there he won 5 Emmy awards
for his on-air performance and musical compositions. Over the years he appeared as a soloist with the famed
Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and has sung both "The Star Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" for many air
shows and major league baseball games.

In 1979 his television work took him to the Dayton Air Show and he immediately became a volunteer.
By 1990 Rob was the "color announcer," working with award-winning announcers Bill Bordeleau and
Danny Clisham. He learned from the best in the business.

Rob began to work on the "air show circuit" and has been a member of ICAS for 13 years. ICAS has
also recognized his talent by asking him to be the master of ceremonies for the final night convention
"Chairman's Banquet" for eight of the last nine years."

Rob's 2008 schedule will take him to 21 shows, making him one of the busiest and most sought-after
announcers in North America. He'll be working at shows from Maine to California and he'll be teamed up
with Danny Clisham at EAA's AirVenture air show in July.

Rob owns and operates the Brightsides Studio, a fully digital facility producing music and narration tracks,
air show commercials, and air show performers. He can also do voice-overs and full production
commercials for your air show. In 2007 Rob's production and voice helped the "Gathering of Mustangs
and Legends" show to win first prize in the ICAS Marketing Competition's "Radio Spot - Large Show"
category.

It's been said of Rob Reider, "He's excited and supercharged! He's a performer with the unique ability  to
meet an audience where they are, touch their hearts, make them laugh, make them cry, and leave them
with a feeling that they have been totally entertained."

He'll do it at your air show, too.
