We needed one more speaker to fill in the middle area that the outside speakers wouldn't reach, so Dale "flew" a speaker from the ceiling from this board:
Even though Dale "pinkie-promised" me that it would be safe, I worried all evening that the speaker would fall and crush the minister who was standing underneath it. . .
Rob's dad was in the area and stopped by to see how we were doing. It's funny how you're never to old to want to impress your dad.
Meanwhile all of these speakon cables still need to go. . .
. . . into all of the speakers and into the amps, etc., etc., etc.
In addition to hooking up the main speakers and the monitors, all of the instruments had to be mic'ed and run into the main snake as well as setting up all the vocal mics. Gloria was very helpful all day and had fun checking things out.
The musicians started to trickle in around 6:15 which didn't leave a lot of time for a sound check. Things were mostly ready on our end by 5:45-ish and, fortunately, we had time to check all the vocal mics and the wireless mic as well as set all of the front monitors. The musicians were pretty easy going, so I guess it went as well as can be expected.
Rob is very picky when it comes to sound check, which in the long run, is a good thing.
Gloria had a great time!

Rob only had about 10 minutes total to eat his first meal of the day very quickly (donuts in the a.m. don't really count as a meal!) and change into his "professional" clothes.
7:02: Showtime!

This woman did an interpretive dance to pre-recorded music. She asked me afterwards if my daughter could be a part of her presentation on Saturday night. All she needs to do to prepare is to "dress for the Lord". Hmmmm, I'm not sure what that looks like!
The musicians were great!

These are the ushers preparing to take the offering:
Rob in his happy-place:
I think Gloria believes these events are all about her!!
The guest speaker flew in from Virginia (I think) and was awe-inspiring:
He really got the crowd riled up for God. My favorite line that he used was to call us all "The Saints and the 'Aints". I'm not sure which is which, but it sure sounded good! He involved the congregation throughout his message and often told us to "Hit the person next to you and tell them 'Satan aint gonna get in my way!'" or "Give the person next to you a high-five and tell 'em 'I'm goin' somewhere!'". The praise band accompianed his sermon in all the right places with keyboard, drums, and organ.
When all was said and done, we were tired but satisfied with a good day's work. We were also starving so we went to JB's at 10:50 for a late-night snack.
