In these closing months of school there are many spring concerts, academic award ceremonies, athletic award ceremonies, and a musical. We just recently had the district wide orchestra concert. This was a wonderful event, as the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and high school grade level strings players where showcased. You could really tell how a student can progress in the field of music when they start in the 5th grade and stick with it through their high school years.
Before our upcoming musical, "All Shook Up" we have some preparatory things to take care of. One of these major things was to replace sconce and house lights.
As seen here on the left, these are two sconce lights. They are mounted on the walls and can be controlled independantly. When on by them selves they give the theater a very soft and subtle light. Enough to walk and see where you are going but it would be too dim to comfortably read a book.
Below, a wooden platform with custom legs. These legs are cut an angle to accommodate for the slope in the floor in the PAC. This was made so a ladder could be safely used to change the sconce bulbs.
These sconce lights haven't been changed in years and there were 5 or so that were burned out. All of the bulbs were changed this week.
Along with changing the sconce lights, the house lights were changed.
On the right, one of the lights rigging cables snapped. A rigger is coming in on Monday to repair this. Each light is held up by two air craft cables.
The following two pictures are on scaffolding that has been set on stage for the upcoming musical. The scaffolding will be up for the duration of the show. Singing and dancing will take place from on and all over the scaffolding. It will be lit it a very creative manner.
Thanks for reading!
