DAy 3

Today is even tired than yesterday. I tot my tour ended liao, can rest.
A few of us reached there early. When teacher arrived, we were doing many shen duan at backstage.
Teacher saying that some costumes r dirtied n she was very busy with no helpers. Of cos we were sad tat such incident occurs but its accidential incidents. We all knew tat e costumes r expensive but sometimes its juz not proposely 1 lor.
Our first 2 nights, most of e students are activated. Most of us had things to worry, scripts to remember. Not tat we not wanting to help but zi shen nan bao.

My second night was very relax. After my scene, i immediately xia zhuang to c who need help n to understand e PA system. Anyway i also cant help much, cos i also dont know how to do hair etc...

Guess whose back...I tot i could do a snap shot but kana caught by yixian...

All set to go...

MK special request for her edited photo to b up. But can tell that she is very qiao cui.
So where m i?

I was 1 person controlling e mic volume, sound vol, cd player, hearing for sound feedback, eyes on hand sign...
Its not a easy job lor. Dont know y handsigns only came when my eyes r on e PA or trying to follow e script.

This pic was taken when i was doing PA 10 yrs ago. E sys we had is a 8 mic sys. 1 person will eye on e control, hands on e control n eyes with e speaker in e room. Another person will look out for signals n follow e script so as to know wat to play next.

E 1 i controlling is a 12 mic system but only using 7 mics. I had controlled a 24 mic sys before. But tat is also a dance performance thus only abt 4 mics r in use

Its much easier than cos most of e time its only e principal talking thus so long as no feedback, we r safe.

During performance, we only need to know when e presenters wish to talk. Else only play music.

But this time is different, music, player, live sound all at 1 time. But only 1 person controlling...

CD with talking n live, i need to look at signals, feedback, music, etc. I believe other shows r easier as they employ professional to look at e sys. Only need a student to ensure that mic exchange is right, music is right n sound is ok. Anything juz tell the crew.

I was very relieved when xiumei took e seat beside me. All the rest r busy helping other friends or teacher with their costumes. RSM finding ppl who r abt to go onstage n run errands. Most of e show was live til second half. Teacher requested to run e cd. Only then my trouble began...

After xiumei went to stage, miko took over. i was adjusting e music as i saw teacher's signal for 'go'. Mk then told me teacher signal 11 and cut. There is no track 11 lor. So we were thinking wat she wants... Then hack it lah... juz cut e cd. I took the cd out n telll e music teacher "pls c wat u can do. My cd is either u play or u stop, u cant skip track".
