Christian Brothers’ Dinner Behind the Scenes at the Christian Brothers’ Dinner For the past several years, Kevin Kuptz (‘79) has supplied audiovisual equipment and lighting, as well as the “stage” for the Annual Christian Brothers’ Dinner. In high school, Kevin played in the DLS Band, under Mr. Donovan Rostek. Kevin is a professional saxophone, trombone, and trumpet player as well as a 30- year member of Detroit Local 5 Musician’s Union. He earned his Bachelor’s degree at Wayne State and Master’s degrees in Music at Oakland University, and also taught Music for two years at Oakland. He toured with various bands and also represented equipment manufacturers. Over the past 20 years, Kevin has played with the Four Tops, the Temptations, the Contours and many other Motown acts. Kevin’s company, Ignited Light and Sound, provides equipment for various clients, including the Cities of Warren, Ferndale, and Birmingham. During the annual Woodward Dream Cruise each summer, Ignited handles the needs of dozens of clients, including the Ford Motor Company. Two of his biggest clients are the musicians Dave Mason and Alto Reed. Kevin is often on the road himself, setting up all the audio equipment on their tour. “All they have to do is walk up on stage,” says Kevin. Kevin started his business in 1999. “I was always the musician that owned all the gear.” He has a warehouse in Roseville for all of the equipment. Ignited has six full-time employees, and 20 seasonal. The company’s services extend beyond the audio and lighting equipment, however. Ignited also has a fleet of vehicles to move events from one point to another, and provides on -site and carry- in repair In 2015, Ignited Light and Sound opened a new 3,000 square foot recording studio to further support their clients’ needs for quality music and video recording, editing and mixing.
