Vacation Bible School

Well VBS has come and gone here at DSC and it was a crazy time of kids learning, singing, and playing. There were over 250 kids and over 100 volunteers this year. The worship center was transformed to a mountain camp for the kids to enjoy music, skits, and gospel presentation. Here are some of the things technically we did. For the cast we had 6 channels of wireless all on head worn Country man E6, DPA4066's Audio Techica 892 Microset. The wireless units were 2- Shure ULX4P's, Shure 1-ULX4s, Shure 1-SLX, and Shure 2-PGX, 1- Audio Technica 1800 series. The singers were on 4 handheld wireless, I don't usually like this but they had to get there mics off the stage for the skits and this seemed the easiest. They were two AKG mics we got on a rent swap with Audio Excellence. I am not sure of the model but they sounded good. 1-PGX wireless with a PG48 and 1-ULX with SM58 head. We had one PGX system go down mid week it was about 6 years old so not bad for a cheap wireless that gets moved around all the time. The band consisted of Percussion (cahone,Beta 56,/jimbe,2 pro 35)), bass (SansAMp DI, keyboard (Radial Pro DI). Sara led on acoustic into a Radial Pro DI and singing into a Beta 87c. We made 300 CD's of the music so each kid got a copy which has become quite the tradition here at DSC. These are live recorded and duplicated the week of VBS. I hope to do a pre-recorded disc for next year so the kids can get a copy before VBS and start learning the songs ahead of time. Well thats all I got for now.
