Natchitoches Jazz Fest

This past weekend I was lucky enough to goto the Natchitoches Jazz Fest. It was a long day as we started setup of the stage at 7am and were loaded up by 1am the next morning. Besides that I had a great time helping out, shooting pictures, and most of all, learning the technicalities of a live stage production. Believe it or not a good part of the sound work takes place while the music is going. The sound guys are constantly checking levels, knocking out unpleasant frequencies, leveling, panning, etc... all while under pressure of pleasing the band. Respect to you guys. Here are some shots showing that show the event before and during it. The big Yamaha box contains a mixing board too big to be taken out of the box. The whole box with its top off is propped on a stand. Enjoy.
