High school: We went through a few generations of gear inside both of our venues.
The lamps that stuck around were of course old (and newer)
360Q 6x9, 6x12, 6x16s. More of the 6x9s though.
Tons of
Strand Lekolites, Century Patt. 263, Fresnelites, EC Fresnels, old
Altman border lights, and
Altman EC-1
cyc.
We got some S4 26 and 50s and some
Selecon Pacific. We split them up into both of our venues.
Two
Altman 1K "
Altspot" follow spots. Numerous
Altman 500W-1000W Par64 too.
6x12, 6x9,
Patt263, usually for
FOH LX
Selecons, usually reserved for choir LX.
S4s and 6x16s, usually for onstage specials and tips.
EC Fresnels, Fresnelites, usually for backs.
I'd usually
switch it up a lot when my turn came around to design the main
stage shows...
As far as control and dimming goes... old
Strand/Rank raceways, Two 12 x 2.4kw
Strand CD80 Packs
in one venue, and 18 old 0-10v analog 2.4kw Dilor and EC dimming in the other. A 12 x 1.5kw
Colortran ENR
portable rack sometimes found it's way in to both venues. A 12ch Dilor analog board
in one venue, and a 24ch
Strand MX in the other.
A few years ago, shortly before grad, we got two
ETC SmartFades installed in the venues along with some SmartPacks and analog-digital conversion equipment.
That board was great for the non-tech savvy students, sucked for me to program on. Although the
OLE was nice.
I now go around to different schools, see tons of old
Strand stuff, and tons of the old Altmans. As well as Source 4s.
A 200 or MX here and there, but mostly 300s, Innovators, and
Express 72/144 in my area. With Sensor or
CD80 rack dimming.
