A HUGE Thank You!
A HUGE Thank You to all of those who helped get the sound and Tech booths moved this past week!
As I pointed out to Chris, every single wired connection between the stage and the sound booth was redone. New wires were pulled, new connectors soldered, old wires extended. In order to make the moves, we had to scavenge some parts from the WhereHouse that were not needed there right now. All in all, it was a busy week.
Special thanks to Lee, Steve and Kurt for adding their special level of expertise.
If you haven't seen what was done, stop by and check it out! We took the opportunity make some improvements in the entire set up. The Shure processor has been moved down to the amp rack, which freed up space in the board rack. Components were moved around to make recording the message and playing CD's a little easier. The compressors were re-worked so that almost every signal is on a dedicated compressor. Both the compressors and the Aviom were labeled so that we can tell what is what more easily. Let me know what you think.
The schedule was tight. We tore it apart Sunday night, and started to put it back together Monday afternoon. Benjamin thought we would be done by Tuesday (he's an optimist, for sure). We were able to turn power on to the board and get a signal from the speakers shortly after 5 on Wednesday. By 5:30 we had all the wireless connections running, and the CD and DVD feeds. It took another hour before we got the other issues worked out so that we could record to DVD and we had sound and video on the monitors in the building. The Connect Group started at 7. Praise Him since we got exactly what was needed working by then. Saturday dawned with the need to get the mic and instrument lines connected to the new snake location. That involved running a sub-snake from the new location over to the old. We got that working by about 11:30 Saturday. By the time we got the wires secured and things generally cleaned up and ready for worship, it was a little after 2, and rehearsal started at 2:30!
God is never late, but He also usually isn't early, either.
The pay-off for me was being able to sit in the 9:00 AM service and be able to worship. From where I was, things sounded great! Lee had a fantastic mix going, our Worship Team was on their game, Tech had all of their lights working (finally) - everything came together for the congregation to feel God's presence.
Be prepared that the next few weeks may be very messy. The construction crew is scheduled to begin punching holes in the floor and the roof to make room for the new steel columns by next week. First Wednesday is a definite, but Twenty/20 may be moved or cancelled. We'll see.
Let's keep our heads on swivel and make sure we've got the message reaching those seats filled with hurting people.
You guys are great! I'm proud to be working with you!
For Him,
Kevin
