Simon's Rock was fun! We were third. We thought we should have been second. It's ok though! It was quite an experience. We met a lot of nice people, and Colin even won Best Arrangement for Come Together!!
I took down my rant on sound because it was quite negative, however, I've had a couple requests(?) for it to come back. Here's a quick summary:
Some people don't know what they're doing, nice theaters have gizmos (VCA groups, scene recall) that make some stuff easy to mix, while other stuff becomes much harder, and folks, don't run your sound system untuned, it's like unprotected sex. (Can you say feedback?) I also said that the jugdes were good enough to hear through the bad sound, so really all of it was a moot point anyway. That's all there was. Yay!
