Songs for Next Chapel

Hey everybody - I've updated this page with several things:

  • Who is singing solos and where - please have a look below and correct me if I'm wrong anywhere
  • This link with a list of instructions/reminders for sound system setup
  • This link with the stage set up (EVERYONE needs to get familiar with this document)  You numbers on this document are assigned to you, as are your positions.  This will help everyone in set up and also help the guys running sound.
  • N.N. - Can you please show D.H. (the other drummer) the ropes around setting up the drums, where and how they plug in, and how the IEM's are set up and configured for drums?  Thanks!
  • L.C. - You're responsible for setting up your microphone, instrument, and IEM and related cables.
  • S.M - You're also responsible for setting up your microphone, instrument and IEM and related cables.
  • C.M. - Your responsible for setting up your microphone, instrument and IEM and related cables.
  • T.Z. - Can I get you to set up your microphone, IEM, and related cables, and show T.B. how to do hers?  Thanks!  You two will need longer cables.
  • R.B. - Can I get you to set up your microphone, IEM, and related cables, and show E.B. how to do hers?   Thanks!
  • J.H. - Can I get you to set up your microphone, IEM, and related cables, and show H.B. how to do hers?  Thanks!
  • B.S. - I think you're probably quite familiar with setting things up, so once you're done with your gear, can you help anyone else who needs it?
I'll print off the stage setup sheet and have them for reference on Wednesday morning for everyone.  Please be familiar with it though before then, and send and questions, concerns or suggestions to me (don't wait until Wednesday morning, as we'll be quite busy then)

Please remember to bring headphones with a long(er) chord for your IEM.  See you all 7:15am, Wednesday, Oct. 5th
