Ended up being about 12-14 ft high- proscenium is about 22 if I remember correctly. we used sheetrockers scaffold with bright yellow paint and metal plates to stand/ dance on. ended up being fairly sturdy and not half-bad too.
i was given to under stand by someone wise that they had a practical purpose: to keep the gas pressure from building up too much and going kablooey during the night, or when the next person when walks in with an open source of flame
i use 3D architect, a construction proggie, its helpful for positioning furniture and stuff- then it gives you a walkthrough that you can control
you can pick colors and styles etc.,etc.
no local music shops- seating is just grassy fieldbut we will mark it off to about 40ft at the stage, and possibly 60 or 70ft wide about 75-100ft back
what I was brainstorming was to have this:
have 2 powered speakers on either side of the front of the stage- then go about...
there is a budget of about $600 and i'm the only competent tech they could find that would volunteer everything.
timewise the show is a religious little pagaent that shouldn't last more than two hours- i planned on burning it to CD-
the entire show should be a lipsync with possibly 2 live...
Let me make this as plain as I can. I need to learn how to record an entire show and get mixed just perfect by say the end of june. After which I need to rent a rack and speakers-basically the whole sound package. Now the problem. I've never done sound before in my life. I might could set it up...
