We've started attending a very large, very music-industry-connected church. My sis is in the choir and she told me that they were having budget issues, trying to pay for lighting for their up-coming Christmas choir concert. She asked if I'd be interested in volunteering some lighting services, partially to help out the church and partially to get us more plugged into the scene. I sent the director an email.
He replied and said they do have a lighting company they've used but they've come up a bit short this year and had to cut the number of fixtures they could buy. He put me in touch with the contact at their lighting company. End result I'm going to tag on 30-40 cans to beef out their uplighting and yes, it's the ultra-rare freebie that I'll do (hey, I'm open that weekend anyway). The part that's got me stoked is that there are companies actually making bank off church production work like this. They're doing the install a week from Tuesday. I'll take my fixtures out, hang, and do a bit of assisting and take a lot of notes. It's a different game than the static, non-wired setups that I usually do for weddings. Add to that, the owner of this company had a stroke last year. While I'm sorry for him, the 15-year relationship between this church and company is obviously fading and they host some rather large productions, weddings, etc. Nothing wrong with being in the right place at the right time. Fingers crossed.
