Today (as I had mentioned earlier), I helped the Priestie Boyz during their first-ever concert. Since the band had little (i.e. no) funds and very little equipment, I decided to help out. Luckily, Charlie, the lead singer, had connections and was able to borrow about $30,000 worth of equipment, including a 32-channel mixer, two huge JBL speakers, two power amps, four monitor speakers, a drum kit mic set, some stands, a few other mics, and a snake (all of the highest quality)!
And guess who was in charge of setting up and harnessing all of that power? Me. It was very fun, especially having to do it with a total of five people, in about three hours. We spent a little bit of the night before, and about an hour today, setting up all the equipment and doing sound checks (I liked that part because I told Charlie when to stop talking ;-).
Today, I brought three video cameras (borrowed from the Seminary and Mike), my Canon digital picture camera, and my iBook G4 to record sights and sounds from the event. I have now posted the pictures on a special page for the Priestie Boys. The 'Boyz are still working on details for audio distribution. I videotaped everything, but it will take a little more time before I can work on that (video's a lot more time-consuming than audio!).
There were about 800 youth from Charlie's parish attending the event, and it was very well received:
