Howdy everybody, I am from a high school in Oz (Australia). Namely, Brisbane, QLD.
I have been doing sound all my life (well not really...duh), and I was plunged headfirst into lighting when I started high school, and man, do I love it!
We have a 16 channel Yamaha powered sound mixer, with 12 channels on multicore to the front of the stage, plus a separate non-powered desk that we use to control our 8 Shure radio mics during the annual school musical. We have a CD Player, MiniDisc recorder and tape (hasn't been used in years).
Unfortunately, with lighting, we are only on an analogue system! So basically I took the higher-up people to task last year and said straight out that we need to upgrade our lights system to DMX512. And of course, they promptly turned that around to get me to do all the research/quotes/inspections (yeah I know eh!). Me being who I am, I jumped at the chance.
Current Lighting: LSC Focal with Master Wing 36-channel, two wallpak 12-channel dimmers, one similar touring dimmer (shared with the drama department at the moment).
Prospective Lighting: LSC maXim L with integral PatPad 36 channels, and as budget allows, probably two iPaks and one iPro.
So yeah, looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better...
Cheers
