The amp on stage was emitting sound waves of some sort, but I have no idea how much. Julie, Ben, or Mitch?

I noticed Reilly's bass player had an amp onstage. I liked the bass sound. I was wondering whether the amp was just being used as a preamp with a direct out, or whether we were hearing its speaker too.

I wished I could have heard the guitars and backing vocals more, and the violins a little less. I was in the first meeting.

I agree completely with Josh's ideas on learning a band. Listening to the CD is really helpful, and having an "expert" nearby is great, too.

And Craig is right. We definitely need to re-aim the baptistery lights before the next baptisms.

Have the baptism lights been re-aimed since Pilgrim? I know we were waiting for the font to be open to do that. If they haven't then we should put it on the list as they are currently aimed to light people standing on the platform that rests on the top of the font.

Fred, you crack me up :-)

I was actually in PA for mothers day so I missed the chance to come in and help. When it comes to having a guest band come in, I think the best thing to have is someone who knows the band already; this will help the guy at FOH learn how to mix them and the guy in monitor world give them exactly what they need. Also, when I've had to mix for guest bands in the past, I've tried to get a copy of their CD ahead of time to familiarize myself with their music.

As for NEXT, we need to make sure we pray for Dave, he's got so many bands and choirs and orchestras coming in, he's got a TON of new sound to deal with and I'm sure it won't be easy. If you need help during the week, let me know, I'll be there :-)

To the comment about knowing the guest band: you didn't have Mr.Davis mix? Opportunity missed, bro! I'm sure Josh would love for you to make amends at NEXT... Fred B.
