Lighting

Just when it was all going so well, I showed up a play practice yesterday and couldn't get a single one of my stage lights to work. Ok, so I was feeling a little over confident. It's elementary school, I have eight lights, I used all the same equipment last year, one run-thru, two dress rehersals should be plenty, but alas, I lost the run-thru entirely on the phone to the customer service rep who was (bless him) completely stumped so I didn't feel like a total moron.

I ended up bringing the whole system home with me to putz with over the weekend which I'm sure caused all my neighbors to think I'm shooting a porno here this weekend. But after locating the "reverse polarity switch" on the light board within the first 10 minutes the system was in my house I toted them all back out to school in the nic of time. Shazzam! Let there by light!
