Chamber

Chamber, MSU - The Wharton Center, Great Hall.

Who doesn’t love Messiah now?  Come on… its tradition.  This concert used mostly undergrad soloists for each movement selection, so two mics were on stage with reinforcement.  I also thought it was weird having THAT many singers, and only THAT many orchestra members. stagehands clean up stupid mess  Also… don’t leave bleachers outside during an ice storm and expect them to thaw nicely.  I woke up at 6am with my boss to hang microphone and got to watch 4 hours of ice chipping in between other sorts of morning happenings.  I can’t believe how much work can go into making the stage look how it does - something not many people appreciate and most take for granted.
