just got it So I wanted to share :-)

I was about a week behind in watchin

the Glee gaga episode :-) but it was Sooo

good. the costume design team was off the hook.

the Sat of Memorial Day

So I got up Sat and had to get ready and

go to church for Fred Spivey's funeral. I don't deal well with death

I just dont really process it.. at least like people

expect you to... im just beginning to realize this.

I was running video sound so i just switched into

work mode. but he will be missed.

then I went home and took a nap

after that I got up and stopped by tropical smoothie

for a mocha madness smoothie i dont really like mocha

flavor but its Coffee :-)) in a smoothie so I can overlook that...

then it was back to WEAG to do something I had been

putting off...clean the Green Room (its the room off stage left

between the sanc and the back hall)

it has all the cabinets with our sound gear but after small

production season it was a mess (small production season

includes children's production, youth production, and dance production)

as you can see its a mess...So I spent the next few hrs cleaning it up

this may sound like a pain but it really is fun and I enjoy it...wrapping

cables and putting them in thier place. so a few hrs later it was as it

should be..

this makes me happy :-))

WEAG Seek Youth Choirs Production this year was called Anonymous

(in case you couldnt tell from the pic...haha)

The Youth Choir was directed this year by a team

of people this year...Scoob, Brian King, Bob Laughlin,

Kara Smith and Sarah Walson. it was more like the Youth Choir

Music selction wise of Old days. vs the more band driven

selections we've had the previous 2 years, each has it's pluses

and minuses when translated to a youth choir.

Overall, I feel like this production was one of the better ones

we've had in a few years. the message was great. the dialog was very

real and up to the minute, including ideas from post secret, formspring,facebook, and brought up very real issues while still remaining a safe distance away. the songs towards the end tied in beautifully with the dialog and conclusions.

from a tech standpoint I was kinda disappointed by the set and tech aspects of the show, but Joni said the minimalistic set was to echo the feelings of anonymity brought up by the show and I got that, it made sense. (the set was the risers plus the drop that was 30' x 20' ish the original graphic that went on the backdrop is shown above)but there were no tech glitches during the show which I was very thankful for. this was the first youth show I had run board on, and there were issues as usual with Solo levels in the monitors but we resolved most of these. Barry Voltz did an amazing Job getting the most level possible out of the live choir mics and eq'd the track brilliantly. he got that half of the board and I got the half with the Solo and Lav mics. and thanks to Amy Young calling ques in our ears all night long, I only missed one mic que (1st part of Daniels sentence on the sat.) during the 2 show run.

on a personal level I tend to not think about things to much during a show run, cause I'm working and have to focus to get things done, but when I looked up at the screen during the Post Secret section it choked me up, because it was so close to home, these aren't random kids 1,000's of miles away that feel like that it's kids that I talk to in our youth group that feel like that, and even deeper I've felt like that before.I know that it wasn't the intention of the show but I actually feel more anonymous now than before the show, its not that I wasn't anonymous before I guess I just never really thought about it. but it doesn't really matter, all that matters is that through the show and all the work that went into it by so many people on so many levels impacted people for Christ.
