Mrs. Footer, You are most likely not going to like what I am about to say, but the simple fact is, you must take care of yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you. As professionals in an industry that makes incredible demands on our time and our bodies, we MUST take care of...

Footer gave the you the correct folks to contact....Texas Scenic in San Antonio. I used to work as an installation rigger for them and they do excellent work.

I have to pitch Texas A&M University--Corpus Christi, because that is where I work. The theatre department is growing amazingly fast and the faculty is excellent. No super huge and fantastic theatre in which to work yet, but one is in the pipeline, two to four years down the road. Not much in...

The "third hand tool" is a must have. I'm not able to transfer an image of the tool....google it. .....alligator clips on a stand with a magnifying glass.....

Just a shade off topic, but what about the circus type wire/rope ladders that must be climbed when going up into the trusses to operate a truss follow spot? What sort of regulation is on those units or is there any?

You might also wish to consider doing a really good job of "herring-bone" type bracing under the percussion area, so your drummer doesn't bounce.

I have been reading all of this with great interest and it seems that unlike everyone else on this board, I am a fan of A-frames. As some of you may remember a couple of my stories involving A-frame ladders that caused a few sphincters to contract to the point that needles would not have been...

As Kelite stated, "White light IS a color and your ARE allowed to use it", he is so correct. In my concert hall, I am required to use white/NC for 90% of what I have on stage. It seems that symphony musicians are allergic to any color of light other than white. Put simply, white light makes...

What will the light be lighting? If is lighting the kick or the drum kit or something in that general area, one of the cheap LED Par units for $100.00 or so that has the audio/color change feature.... very simple. Can also be controlled with DMX.

Sorry that you did not get the job, but keep looking and as Ship said, "Keep learning". This points to an issue that I think all who want to work in this industry should think about. Just a lighting guy/girl....just a sound guy/girl....why not do both sound and lights? The more that you...

Personally, I like the "OFF" function of the O-N/O-F-F- function switch, because when I hit it, I know that work is over and I am on my way home.:grin:
