Today was the day the Channing House Chorus presents two musical events, or rather, performs the same program twice, once at 10am and again at 7pm, the latter followed by a reception in the lobby. I was on AV for both. Other than setting up the microphones, my main responsibility was to control the camera to get a good video recording of both shows. Later I will edit them into one video to be posted on Resweb, our internal website.
An additional tech item was that we had planned to put the video and audio on Zoom, not for general consumption — Mary the Chorus Master was very definite that we were not going to encourage people to watch from their rooms, she wanted them in the auditorium — but so that the activity nurse at the Lee center could put it on their big screens for people in AL and SN, who couldn’t come across to the auditorium.
That worked great in the morning, the zoom had just four names in it, me the host, the zoom room PC which provided the camera view, and one for each floor of the Lee center. But when I came back in the auditorium after a quick supper at 6, I found the zoom room hardware complaining about something and it wasn’t usable. And the IT guys had gone home for the day. But I got good recordings of both shows and the audiences were happy, so it was fine.
