Week Seven - Community Service

While there are plenty of things someone can volunteer for just in the nearby community, sometimes finding those opportunities are the hardest part of volunteering your time. For me, ironically, it kinda just plopped into my life and I said yes. As I was recently the lighting programmer for The Hendrix Project that went up in the E407 space, a class of stage managers asked if they could come in and mess around with our rig to see what it is like to call a show or be a board-op. So, I diligently walked them through the basics of the rig and what everything does and how we are controlling it for this show in particular. Then we moved on to calling the show which involved 3 full runs of the show from top to bottom. All in all, it was kinda fun to spend a Friday with these new SM students and introducing them to different ways of running a show or calling it especially for this one since it was completely music.
