n January 25, 2020, the 56th Annual CAS Awards was held at the
InterContinental Downtown Los Angeles in the Wilshire Grand
Ballroom.
It was a splendid affair, title sponsored by DTS. The cocktail hour, generously
provided by Westlake Pro and Avid, was buzzing with energy as new friends and old
told tales from the past year's adventures.
As the ceremonies began, our host, comedian and actress Kirsten Vangsness,
crooned bespoke melodies to the audience and brightened the room with her unique
brand of techie comedy. The audience joined in on the final chorus of her song, "Room
Tone," that ended in chuckles and smiles.
Following the greeting of attendees and installing the newly elected Board
members, CAS President Karol Urban presented a surprise special recognition
honor to Peter Damski CAS. This custom-created award was brought forth by the
Board of Directors, where Peter served for more than a decade, helping to create
the organization we all know today.
Throughout the night, celebrities and masters of sound mixing presented awards
for outstanding products, sound excellence, Career Achievement, and our Filmmaker.
There was a heartfelt custom message that was played for Tom Fleischman CAS
