We didn't need to set up any audio at the main stage until Friday but we had plenty to do over at the ice skating rink. Kurt ran lights for an event there back in December and he did such a great job that they asked us to run lights AND sound for a two night gig in February. It worked out great that we would already be up there for Winter Carnival. We were very limited on time to hang lights from the rafters as well as run all of the cables and LED lights that would help transform the rink for a Starz on Ice event. (This photo was taken from the Genie lift up in the rafters). Everything had to be done between the hours of 10 pm and 4 am. There was a lot to do in a short amount of time. It was a little stressful but nothing we couldn't handle. . .
This is the dry ice machine that fills the arena with a low-lying fog at the touch of a button. . .
Once everything was set up, Kurt got the "fun" job of programming everything for the show. The arena already has quite a bit of lighting so we had to tie in all of their fixtures with ours and put them all into one program. It's way over my head so I can't begin to explain how it all works, but (writing this in hindsight!) it all worked out beautifully!!
This is the promo video for the show that was made a couple of years ago. It's not the show from this year but still gives a good idea of what we experienced:
