Does anybody here have the lighting circuit breakers and all of the electrical stuff really close to the stage? And if so, does it make a lot of noise when all of the lights are turned on at full? Well my problem is basically that when I turn on the main switch to turn on the lights, it is quiet for about 15 seconds, but then when electricity starts going trough everything, it starts getting really loud. It's about as loud as standing 20 feet in front of a honking car. And this is probably also the reason why our sound is so crummy (read my previous entries on my sound troubles lol). I think we need to move the big electrical boxes out and somewhere else. We have 3 of them and are probably about the size of a small closet. And I'm sure they're really old. (prolly as old as the school ((30 years)) ). We were thinking of buying like 4 or 5 double mattresses and lean them up against the cage that they're in. But I figured that's a fire hazard and it wouldn't be good if a school administrator found out. I figured out that if we were going to move them, it would probably cost thousands of dollars to hire electircians to move them into a room and buy more wires to reach them. So has anybody had this problem and/or have a solution to this mess? Thank you.
