Mixxx is a free Dj software... not the best... but its free

I personally I little experience in this topic, but I have a decent idea of how it would have to be done. You would have to get something like this; 8CH 2.4G 200mw Wireless Camera Video Audio Transmitter and Receiver - SecurityCamera2000.com . A simple video camera should work fine, you might...

You could try using band aids to hold the mic instead. I did that for one show and it worked better than the mic tape we had been using!

While I will not argue with the types of floor mics others have suggested (I am sure they are better than what ever I suggest) one thing we do in our theater to try to stop picking up the pit band is to make some shields (2 pieces of door skin about 4" high, glued at a 90 degree angle and when...

At my high school, it was designed with some pockets in the back of the theater (some you can't even see into unless you turn a corner) and they have occupants who go their quite often during lunch.

If you are a dealer/reseller you can use this site: Welcome to TecNec Distributing, The Wholesale Source (I think you can still use it if you are not a dealer/reseller but they have a LOT of stuff)

I have tied this knot a few times. It was taught to us as the "circus knot" from what I remember it is used when circus's are setting up their tents, they use this knot. They had us use this knot for rigging a few signs, but we do not use it a lot. I will say this is a fast knot to tie.... if...

My bad. And I will say, that is A LOT of wireless mics (compared to what I have seen in high school theaters)

I have previously used soundsnap.com they have a number of different pricing options, and the files are all pretty decent quality.

What did you get for a sound board? And any wireless mics?

I like your new theater.

We have made a sort of compromise at my high school. We were lucky enough to get a large theater, a large theater with an upper and lower balcony. So for musicals, we simply grab a few tables, set them up on the upper balcony, string a snake across from the booth, move all the gear we need over...

As a back up until you get another system set up, you can do what our theater does (they never installed speakers in the lobby) which is turn the lights off and on a few times in the lobby.

I agree. My school did LSOH this spring and each and every single plant (we had 4 different versions) was different and quite complex, and we also got free instruction from the guy we rented it from. And be sure to shop around, one place we looked wanted $1,500 for the time we needed, we found a...

Ouch. I can't wait to see more!
