Tuesday Show

Throughout this show I trained Elisha on mics and had her shadow me as I fulfilled my role.


Just before the show the main generator went down, the back up generator is in the backstage area, if knocked it would take out all the power, I printed sings, taped around it and stood infant of it during the races to ensure it wasn't knocked.

One of the international trains needed her hair doing and as hair were busy I stepped in to help.

Front of house, especially the merchandise stand were struggling for light to I grabbed some of the uplighters in the flight case and I programmed them to a white light and fed power to them from over uplighters. This helped. 

Whilst powering up the lights I realised that the tent had leaked on some of the 13 amp cabling. A health and safety risk.

Here is how we mic the international trains so they can change quickly from their boiler suits to their gang.

Angus needed his mic for the mic check as he wears it for the longest, he then disappeared after the mic check when Olly needed it to go on stage for a warm up as he wears it first, we found him but had to put the mic on quickly. 

After my last show tomorrow Im leaving mics to rowan and Elisha, I added their initials to each mic change to help them keep track who's doing each one. Elisha also wrote these including who's changing them on her script and the characters these involve.  

Wills mic had an odd setting where if you used the mute button it worked, this is bad if it's knocked, however this appeared on the stack so I changed the settings using this order Andy told me, I noted this down on the mic plot so when I'm away Rowan and Alisha know what to do. 

 We had to ensure mute mode is disabled so when the buttons on the mic are moved they don't cut out the mic.

There was a flight case against the band steps in the way of the races so before the show started we moved it to where the rest of the flight cases were. 

This is the mic change where I move Toby's headset onto the mother then back, this went seamlessly. 

Charlie's mic pack kept falling so I pinned it to his mic belt and it stayed really well. 

Half way through act 1 we realised that Oscar's batteries were on 2 bars despite being changed and as he was on stage so often it was priority to get him a new set, we only had AC/DC before he was on stage so I had to do a rapid battery change!

To save Toby's voice I made him a green tea, lemon and honey during the interval.

All mic changes had gone perfecty and I glue gunned a carriage's knee pad back together.

At the end I was also really happy with how FOH looked and merchandise had made £287 which breaks even with the magnets, however only 5 were sold so by Thursday we may consider dropping the price.
