Our Sound System Works Perfectly....when we're asleep and dreaming
I thought fine arts night actually went pretty well...well, okay, concert choir screwed up about the entire second half of heavens because we missed cues and didn't come in at all, but i thought show choir did alright. yes, we started off in mountain music, but we got back on. the same thing happened freshman year with moondance, its not really a huge deal when that happens. no, what i was impressed with was that it wasn't nearly as crazy as usual. i don't think jamie or mrs. b had nervous breakdowns before our show- if they did, they were not nearly as pronounced as usual. and everyone had their outfits and we did our costume change just fine...i was impressed. even if it wasn't the very best or loudest we'd ever done our routine, the fact that we were approaching organization was impressive to me. of course, to people who haven't been in show choir before, it probably didn't seem organized or calm or rational, but believe me, it was so much more so than it has been in years past. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that show choir seems to have a much better chemistry this year than years past. no catfights or anything, and though people have quit, it hasn't thrown us off too badly.
but the problems came afterward, with the sound, as always. i don't feel like typing the whole experience out again, so i shall just say this: rachel, we love you! *hug* we need a new sound system, we need people who know how to use everything about the sound system, and people who have no business in the sound room DO NOT BELONG IN THERE. okay, i'm done.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

i dont think we need a new sound system entirely, cus i've heard from other people who know a little about computers and stuff of that nature that we have an great sound system... we just dont have anyone who knows how to work it properly....
and i dont think the show choir did bad at all... i think it was the most enthusiastic we've been thus far. but maybe that might be because i danced next to april and shes always that enthusiastic... i'm aware that word's probably spelled wrong...
the equipment we have is great, yes- truly state of the art. however it is either incomplete, or they don't fit together, hence the problems we have with the monitors.
In my experience with matters like this, I have found that usually when a small place (like Goshen) gets expensive technology (like the sound system), it ends up getting hooked up either improperly or in an overly complex way. Now, I have not actually worked with any of Goshen’s soundboards, but even as an audience member, I can tell that this is the case. This only magnifies that fact that soundboards are extremely hard to work for people without professional training in the first place. Barton talked to me long ago about helping you guys out with that, but I doubt I have the time anymore. Well, I wish you the best of luck.
