I'm not insulted at all. This is the information I'm looking for. I have never worked with GAC other than as lighting safety cable. That's why I came to you all. I know the hive mind here could give me better guidance.Thank you for the information. It is appreciated!

Thanks for the reminder, sincerely. I have hung stuff overhead before. I've just never used airline cable. That's what my real question is.

Hey all. How difficult is it to manipulate 1/4" airline cable, and what tools will I need? I've never worked with it before.

We have this one, and it works really well.

Is anyone out there attending the Texas Theatrefest in Houston at the end of January?

Good suggestion on the console. Fortunately, the positions on the rails match the channels, so it's just a matter of keeping them straight ("uhhh, which rail is the first one?";) ). I don't have an exact count of each type of light, but I know that for now I have more than enough, and they are...

Okay gang, I need the brain trust to kick in. I've got to do an initial hang/focus for the 12th. I don't have keys yet, and I know that the 4 days prior to the show, I won't be able to do anything on the stage because of the final floor install. I'm still teaching 6 sections (out of 7) a...

That's my hope, Van. I'm going to need support and advice and a brain trust to get me through the next couple of years as we feel our way through this process.

At this point, there are no students working with me. I have a team of guys that I've worked with for the last several years in a different venue that are going to help me get through this year until I can start training my kids next year. I won't actually have any tech classes until then from...

Oh yes, I'm thrilled to share! We have an ETC Ion light board and a Yamaha LS9 sound board. WooHoo!!!!:grin:

Yep! I'm as excited as a kid on Christmas. I'm ready to get in and get my hands dirty. It's just a little bit daunting to start from nothing. As for the title, my kids have a different one: Technical Diva! (or as they say, "All Hail Queen Gina!") :lol:

Good to know since I'm going to need a lot of help! I'm not a novice by any means, but this is the first official TD position I've held, and my theatre is brand-new, so I'll be starting from the ground up. Right now I'm trying to think through my basic light hang since all of my instruments...

LOL! Closer than I was. That's what happens when you post before your Diet Coke kicks in. :rolleyes: PAC...Performing Arts Center, specifically the James F. Jackson Center for the Performing Arts at Ozen Magnet High School in Beaumont.

Hey all! My name is Gina, and I'm the TD for a brand-new (getting the keys this week) PAC [edited] in Beaumont, Texas. I'm going to need lots of advice from those of you who have done this for a while. It's been several years since I've TD'ed and I've never started from the ground up before. :)
