Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

Preproduction notes for sound for the production at the Marist School Byfleet in March 2001.

With 8 radio mics, 5 floats, 4 choir mics and a band to mic up, my 10 channel Allen & Heath GL2 is looking somewhat underspecified finally. Ho hum. The good news is that there are a couple of extra desks lying around so this looks like being one of those three desk shows.

The Mackie 1202 will be used for the band, it will also generate the band foldback feed.
The GL2 will be used as the main FOH mixer and the floats (because it has better EQ)
The Behringer will be used for the radio mics (and therefore the vocal FX sends/returns).
