Below is a rough timeline as the day went on and we battled mother nature. It was a VERY stressful day and i have another HUGE gig on saturday, my largest show yet. Pics are below but please pardon it, I had to take pics with the speakers bagged. The crowd was impressive- 1076 students.
7:00 AM- cloudy but sun peeking through a lot, i roll up to school
7:15 AM- it pours on me
7:30 AM- we get my gear out of the truck into the school
9:15 AM- i decide its just gonna be cloudy now so we go ahead with it outside
9:30 AM- i got the bright idea to borrow 3 tents from Culinary Arts
10:00AM all is going great
10:15AM- hell breaks loose and rain comes from all directions- i bag the speakers
10:30- speakers unbagged
11:00- speakers soaked
11:05- speakers re-bagged
11:45, the rain is gone for sure and the WIND becomes nuts
12:00- wind lifts the tents up, one crashed into a car the other flew over the school into the football stadium
12:45- i give up all hope
1:00- NOTHING BUT SUN, blue skies and a beautiful gig ahead
1:20- gig starts, going perfect like nothing else cept the wind caught all of the confetti when i shot it and it blew behind me but still looked insanely awesome
1:30- power goes out, blown breaker
1:35- runing again
1:35-2:00- power goes out 3 more times finally i cut the gx-250s and made it through the gig with the peaks on the eons and mackies lit constantly
I recieved 17 compliments about how i saved the day by not cancelling with the rain, how i handled the power issues and my professionalism.
