New Minowa Day Four

Today was my fourth day with New Minowa. I once again spent the morning painting. I feel that I now have a very intimate relationship with the circus tent and the ferris wheel that I have been working on for so many days, and will continue to work on in the days to come. This afternoon, I had another first. I helped to hang microphones from the fly system at the Decorah High School Auditorium (where State Fair will be performed) and helped set mics into the floor, too. I had a very interesting time trying to figure out the old patch system sound board, something I've never worked with before, and managed to only overload the system with feedback just one time. Also of note, Decorah has the strangest fly system I have ever seen. It doesn't load from the top or the bottom. The rail and all that are located sort of halfway in between the stage level and the catwalk/rafter level. Seems odd, but works just as well, I guess.
