April Update

Hey, it's a tech update!

With the completion of the new stage we move on a step in our upgrading program.
Next up;

Lighting refocus and rewire.
The next time we could get in would be Monday May 12, starting at noon and going till 10 pm.
If anyone can help during this time please let me know, even if it is only for an hour or so.
The work involves setting up the scaffolding in the afternoon, running some new cable, relamping several lights, changing gels and refocusing lights on the new stage.
If no one is available to help I will have to set another date, so let me know as soon as you can.


Sound news;

The good people at the info table have noticed that people are not taking tapes, for this reason we are putting an official end to cassette tape making.
This will change our recording procedure some what.
What I propose is the following (and welcome your input)

1. We start one cassette per week as a backup to the computer.
2. We record only to the end of the songs after the message (except for baptisms).
3. We make one audio disk per week that will be displayed at the info table, and try to have it there before the service ends.
4. We make other disks by request.
5. Get everyone up to speed on multitrack recording of the songs only (to allow for a future worship CD)

Volunteers

Thanks to those who helped with the volunteer table on community Sunday. We are still are still short in a few spots on Sunday in lighting, video and sound. If you know someone who might fit the position give them a little nudge in my direction.

Spring Tech/worship barbeque

Coming soon in late May or early June, best barbeque of the season (IMHO)

Thanks for all you guys do,
Keith
