"I have a School concert on Friday( Bristol High School), that I am the sound system supplier...I will be using two Roland Cubes for the audience and this 1205a for the school class (Graduation program for young children..) The Edirol mixer will give me the control I need for this gig.."
Update: This 1 hour show turned out to be a real workout..
Preparation time, putting the selected music together and altering after they wanted to change it up..not a big deal, but time consuming..
When I got to Bristol High School..it was raining ..hard!!
I had to park about 60 yards away..I loaded the R10 ..two Roland cubes, Podium Pro 1205a, bag with mics and cords, Laptop and mixer.....wheeled over to the front door...no ramp , just to steps...unloaded the cart , hauled the Cubes , Podium , Laptop and mixer into the school...loaded the R10 again
Wheeled to the auditorium..towards the front of the stage..unloaded..again...
Then I had to dead lift the 75 pound Cubes onto the 4 foot high stage.(2 Cubes)....the under 30 pound Podium was a breeze..
The house system was a pair of EAW speakers (used for the mic podium...).
The Roland's cruized in the 1300 seat auditorium, no need to push any volume...It actually did sound better than the EAW's..I used the Podium 1205a for the monitor facing the little kids on stage...
The group of young lady teachers that organized the kids were lovely young ladies (perk)
The show went with out a hitch...
I was only half way finished..the way I came in..is the way I had to leave...and yes it was still pouring rain..I was exhausted , and soaked.....but had a great time..
