Thanks everyone! It looks like I'm getting a white, seamless, 19.5/47 foot muslin cyc. Rosebrand.com quoted me $1585. Does that look right? And the specs I mentioned will be able to give me looks like http://www.dance.wisc.edu/theatre/media/stage.jpg with the red. Correct.

Hmm. So I need a cyc? I was under the impression that cycs were used to light from behind or in front and could be made see through and scrims were pretty much front only and smaller holes, so no transparency. Why is there such a huge cost difference? If all I am going to use it for is...

Hi, I am in the market for a new scrim as our white one is in rough shape. I am looking for any suggestions when looking for a scrim. Type, color, anything else. I am wanting to use it mainly for backdrops. e.g. shooting colors onto it from strip lights. Also, the size is 46 by 19.5 feet...

Yea, we use hairspray in my school.

Off topic, but I was at Florida Thepsian Festival also! I looked for a sound workshop but couldn't find one. Which workshop was it?

We have a home made snow machine at my school. It required two battens. We took some fabric about 4 feet tall and the width of the stage and cut slits perpendicular to the battens and filled it with small 1cmx1cm square paper pieces. Attached one side to one batten and one side to the other then...

We did "A Year With Frog and Toad" a couple years ago at my school, and we made a large book out of foam "pages" and then added a muslin material about 4" wide to the inside of the pages for the spine of the book, then pushed the muslin sheets together and screwed two 2x4s together on each side...

museav, I went through Full Compass and they matched the 3110B to the 290.90 price from Northern. Thanks for the heads up. And Morpheus, while I don't think that is inside our budget, as I am right up against the $7000, I would be interested to see a link for what you're talking about for...

Thank you norwintd, I was able to get him to match that price, saved me several hunderd bucks! :)

Yea it's in band D. I think it is recent: AudioTechnica ATW-3110AD UHF Wireless Transmitter and Receiver Package Channel D - No Mic ATW-3110AD - SJ Media Systems That's just a picture, but it appears to be the most recent. As for power and antennae, we have had no problem simpling plugging the...

Hmm Thanks for the quick responses. I'm looking at the Audio Technica ATW-3110. I can get 14 of those (no mic) and 14 Countryman b3s within my budget. Any thoughts on this setup? It seems to have a lot of nice features, and be cheap. I found it for $335. :)

What is the general consensus on operating in the 700Mhz band? I know that it is not desirable, but I am not in a large downtown area (don't know if that has any effect on the interference we could encounter), and didn't want to have to spend the money on upgrading our packs and receivers. We...

I have $7000 ($6000 from boosters and $1000 from the drama club) to replace all 15 of our microphones, receivers, and transceivers. I was told that the Sennheiser EW112-G3 would be good, but I don't know that it has enough channels, or if the lav that it comes with would be any good. We were...

Wow great info wolf! Thank a ton! I will try that out on myself first and see what kind of sound I get. I will also experiment with using our hanging, shotgun, and other hidden lavs on the set. Only problem with our hanging mics is they are way out of whack (cant turn them on without crazy...

Hmm interesting. At my school, projecting is not something learned, unfortunately. Evey time I set levels for a show I ask "Is that really how loud you're going to be?" haha. I've tried getting them to be louder, but it's a hard thing to do. Also, our theater is pretty large, 950 seats with...
