Green Mt. Pranksters
Green Mt. Pranksters Together just over a year, the Green Mt. Pranksters have gone from a first practice to being chosen as the supporting act to former Phish keyboardist Page McConnell’s band at the Springfield, VT celebration of the national premier of the Simpson’s Movie. Springfield, VT was chosen to be the “Official Simpson’s Springfield” after their video submission won the 20th Century Fox Studio’s Hometown Movie Challenge. The GMP entertained Simpson’s creator, Matt Groening, other entertainment and political dignitaries, as well as the crowd of a few thousand people who had converged on Springfield for the event. In January 2008, the band was invited to appear as the featured musical guest on the award-winning regional late night variety show Late Night Saturday with Tim Kavanagh. The show aired on Channel 3 WCAX-TV the CBS affiliate in Burlington, VT. The show was seen on many cable systems in Vermont and New Hampshire, and the appearance is available for view on the Green Mt. Pranksters’ website www.greenmtpranksters.com.
