How do you make a set dissapear in less than two hours?
By having some of the most amazing volunteers help! You guys killed it today! Thank you so much for all of your help. Our team cannot thank you enough for the time you have saved us this week!
Here is Before!
Here is After!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
What would you like to do?
So it’s about that time of year when we do our Spring Volunteer Event. Last year we went bowling. It was good fun. What you like to do this year?
bowling, putt putt, movie night at the church? Any other suggestions?
Wow!
What an amazing evening! I believe that it was by far one of the most powerful moments at Browns Bridge Community Church. All glory to God! It was hard to hold back the tears at FOH when I got to see people worship like they did last night. And you all had a part in that. I am so proud of the environment you all help us create week in and week out… a place for God to touch people in ways they have never been touched before.
I want to thank all of our volunteers who helped make it happen. We can’t say it enough but what you do never ceases to amaze! Special thanks to Jackie and Chris who were brand new to the team and did an amazing job jumping in and filling the Stage Manager rolls.
Here are some pictures from the night. Thanks again for helping our church to Remember!

Console Upgrade…Again?
So this past Wednesday I upgraded the console software….again. We are actually on version 2.7.025. The upgrade to 2.7 only made a few minor changes but really changes the monitor world ergonomics! Here is the biggest change.
Normally when we cue the monitor mixes….we would push the AFL to the appropriate mix in the master section…here:
Now we can cue the mixes from here:
Other changes include this handy feature of showing VCA contribution:
Monitor guys….now you can stay in front of the faders and window and cue the mixes at the same time.
Enjoy!

Good Friday Services
Hey Guys,
We have been super busy preparing for the Good Friday Service! If you can make it….it will be pretty awesome! We will be taking communion and the emphasis of the evening will be to remember what Christ did on this day over 2000 years ago!
We will have two services, one at 5:30 PM and one at 7:00 PM. Waumba will be provided at the 5:30 service only. We would love to have ya there!

Sunday Shout Out 3.16.08
You guys are amazing! Really, you are! For those of you who don’t know, we decided to change things up a little at the Double B and had Steve leading by himself on acoustic. I really had no idea of what to expect from our attendees since we have never done something like this before, but it was an amazing morning! People singing loud, familiar songs stripped down, and Steve leading us and engaging the audience as only Steve can!
The shout out for this week goes to the whole video team! What beautiful execution you guys had with a completely different feel! Kerry, Ken, Chris, Joseph, and Nathan – way to kill imag! Every time Kerry took that camera 4 shot of Nathan’s I almost wet myself because it looked SO GOOD. Rich, the shading was spot on! Ken, Kristen and Paul – way to own CG/Pro/Playback/PC Live, just a perfect flow this morning!
Do you know what I loved the most this morning? Volunteers in EVERY SEAT! And you OWNED it! Chris was out of town, Ryan was shooting baptisms and I was just taking everything in (thank God nothing went wrong in video world, cause Lord knows I probably can’t fix it) – it was good to know Merritt was TD – He’s a genius. Ansley – it sounded perfect!
Another huge win for me – the second week in a row with one of my guys programming! Mickey, seriously, sometimes it is harder to learn taste with slow sets and you nailed it spot on. It was absolutely beautiful!
I/We can never say thank you enough to how much you guys pour into your roles here. Let us know if there is anything we can do for YOU!
PS – Sorry I’m a day late on this, we are gearing up for a HUGE week here with Good Friday and Easter, keep checking back every monday for the shout out of the week!

3D Andy
So as most of you know, Andy was live at the Browns Breezy yesterday. I really am surprised that nobody came up and told us how great the High Def looked this week. On a more serious note, I really thought that our crew this Sunday held it down. Most of them didn’t know Andy was going to be there until they walked in that morning. Everybody stepped up including Richard Wunderlich on camera 1, Keith Holland on camera 2, Kevin Sharpley on camera 3, Ken Frost on CG, Ken Fisher shading and leading the team through the morning was Kerry Rogan in the directors chair. Don’t get me wrong, everyone else did a great job, but these guys had to stay on all morning and did a great job. I know that there were a few who were nervous early in the morning. I hope that you guys now know that you CAN do it, and you did with excellence. Great job!———————–Shove
Spring Forward!
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward 1 hour this Sunday for daylight saving time. Aren’t you excited….now that 6:30 am call time will feel like 5:30! Ouch! We’ll be sure to get the coffee going early!
New FOH and Monitor Sofware!
Hey Audiophiles!
Just wanted to keep you up to date on the consoles. We are now on Version 2.6.3.1. You can download the stand alone software from the digi site or pick it up from me the next time you are at the church. I don’t think there is anything too huge to be aware of. Just realize there might be compatibility issues if you work on your show from home and are not the same version.

Sunday Shoutout
What a great day we had yesterday! Everything looked killer and ran smoothly and was made even better by the homemade the peanut butter and chocolate oatmeal cookies brought in by Susan Whitt. Susan works as a stage manager and her husband Rusty is a backstage manager and I love how pour so much into their positions and do them so well. Susan and Rusty are always on their game as our own stage crew couple, but then she has to go and make my stomach happy as well. Well done guys! You rock!
Here’s a set pic from a couple weeks ago…
