Lots of Pics

Okay so week 3 in BC!
I know that I just posted lots of pics and one non-BC pic but I have time and Im using my computer.
We have finished the tour with much success everyone that came enjoyed themshelves and the cast and crew did a wonderful job at everystop.
When we got here I was told that I was going to be in charge of gear (set up tear down and making sure we had everything we needed) glup thats a big job on a system that I had yet to lay eyes on. So the first time that we set up, after Gilles assigned the tasks to everyone, took roughly 3 hours......so not good way to long we needed to have it done in a hour at most. When it was all set-up I labeled everything and people knew what went where and where to find stuff, did this in hopes that it would decrease set-up time and boy did it ever the first stop on the tour was Kaslo and I had the system, with the help of many hands, ready to go in under 45 minutes. The Kaslo show was good the school crowd was great and even though there was not many at the night show it was still good.
Naksup was the next stop, it was a tiny space but we filled it for the school and night shows, this I think was the best school crowd very polite and really watched the show.
We had a couple of days off then and I was happy.....I have found out that touring is hard work but I love it we were at school 7:30 in the mornings to load the truck and then driving 1-3 hours to get to the venue and then off loading the truck setting up every thing sound checks and then the techs have to stay to do the sound checks for the local talent. We then got to run and grab something quick to eat and then work the show and then tear the gear down and then load the truck back up again. Oh yeah the that was on about 4-5 hours of sleep a night Techs we are the first to get there and the last to leave.
Grand Forks was our next stop: this venue was nice sort of like Holy Heart's theatre but the school crowd was the worst, the really didnt listen to the show but what can you do. The night show was okay one major hum which we are still shaking our heads over but it was a good show.
Trail: this was our biggest show and I think the best. It is something like the Arts and Culture centers back home. I liked the fact that we did not have to bring our own PA system as we were using the in house system at Trail. The in house guys were nice and the show had a good balance sound wise.
Nelson: we are home! This was the last show and I liked it because it showcased us and the other exchange students more as we had a 20 minute set each. Gilles was introducing the students that were going to play when he said that before he tells you about the 3 students from NL that will be playing there is a fourth who is on the sound board. He then thanked me for all my hard work in the tour. After the show the cast of the broadway part gave me and Jessa (other tech) flowers for our hard work for the tour.
I was a little iffy at first coming on to a show that they have been working on since the fall and almost being put in charge but I think that I did a great job and they didnt mind taking me on board in the end.
So far I love my trip here and I have learned a lot. I hope the next few weeks are going to be just as good if not better......

Until next time dear readers........
