gafftapegreenia has said most of the things that I would say about cherubs. but being a cherub myself I just have to say how amazing the D&T program was (I was a D&T.) another cliche thing to say other than you get out what you put in (which is extremely true) is that cherubs is a life changing...

myself and the two other techs at my school were literaly working on an entry with our old console when the a guy from the district showed up and took it from us saying that we were getting a complete redo of our theatres lighting system. including new rack, new ETC conventionals but most of all...

at my school we have very little in specialization. however i regularly work for a designer at serveral other schools and at each of those the techs from the school are all one area each, then again they have much larger theatres and more complicated productions.

when i was in 7th grade a friend of mine's older brother was the TD of a local theatre, he had conscripted his brother (my friend) to help him hang lights, and so my friend called me and asked me to come and help so he had someone other than his brother to talk to. so his brother quicly gave me...

at my high school we have a 96x2.4kw NSI rack in our 600+ seat procenium theatre. yet only 1-60 are used for stage lighting and maybe another ten for the house, so by my math we have 26 dimmers that arn't even circuited. and there have been rumors that we will be gitting an upgrade. i hope that...

these are from a concert that i LDed at a local theatre. started off coming in thinking that i would just re-use most of the plot from the last show that was in... ended up pulling everything but the most basic of areas and then hanging every light in the theatre (200 plus) including five S4...

It is all going to be ru off a twenty amp honda generator that one of the church members has. I have already run the general layout past one of the assistant event coordinators who is in charge Stuff like that. So I don't think that it will be a problem.

if i had the money to do all this i would, but... i don't. it is for a group of churches and therefore money is very limited. long story short, i'm cobbling together some peices that they already have (beta 58's and 58 wireless' for mics and a peavey XR 1220 powered console) with a three hundred...

I was recently asked to do sound for a float in a parade. they will have a live band which will be played off both sides of the float the entire rout of the parade. I have worked in several stationary settings so my first instict was to EQ every peice of the system. but then i got to thinking...

in order to demonstrate that i would ring out the room with the EQ were the class can see it and then talk about resonance and problem frequencies.

it will be roughly 20x36 and it will be veiw from at least twenty feet (first row) the reason i was thinking aged was because it is set in 1850's russia in a rather small village and i kinda got the feeling that things didn't really last that long so 20 years would be a long time

i doing a show which calls for a portrate. so instead of commitioning a peice from an artist i plan to get a large color print out at kinkos and use that. my question is how do i make it look like it is acrylic on canvas that is at least twenty years old.

re: Truss & Cheeseboroughs i would hazard to guess this is due to the fact that steel is harder than Al and will chew it to peices

i regularly put mics on actress's bra strap. i find it to be alot safer for mics than a waistband and they are already used to it unlike an aditional strap to put it in the small of the back.

and when enough people from the community theatre scene know you and like your work ethic then your name starts to come up in profesional cricles. that's what is happening to me, a guy that i volunteer with at a community theatre just called me in for a job (not at the community theatre) for...
