Si Hao, president of Parry Hall Comm, told us only 3 hours before the event that we [me, Jonathan, Song En, Joshua and Kean Voon] are supposed to help out for the sound system. OMG... so major de event then no rehearsal at all sia... And 1st time duty in hostel leh..
4.10pm: Set up. 2 RCF speakers, 2 wired mics, 3 clip-ons, 2 laptop for sound part and 1 laptop for video. Realised that most equipments are from our dear Xinmin Media Club. 1 projector is Si Hao borrowed from Mr Tang de. Vry weird part is the RCF is vry far away from where the audience shld be.. Lucky didnt rain sia... If not all equipments is gonna spoil...
6+: Set up projector and the projector screen. Had a hard time adjusting the angle and distance etc.
7.30pm: Event started. All sound adjusted to max volume/very high volume coz speaker very far away from audience. And in fact, even till max, it is not that loud for ppl at vry bac. Jonathan do mixer, then I was supposed to confirm with the performances on the requirements [coz no rehearsal, then we dunno whether they can use mics that we have], and helped them to put on clip-ons. Omg, I was lik so busy until almost pengsan. There was over 10 performance I think, and we oni got 3 clip-ons and 2 wired mics, which is very difficult for me when the next performance needs most of the mics which are used by ppl performing. Not enough ppl, and Song En and Kean Voon is not at the so-called "Backstage" most of the time, and Jonathan is doing mixer, thus only left me and Joshua. Joshua, haiz... those kind of 被动性 de ppl... or was it cuz he is only sec 1 and this event is too big for him? Idk, but at least he did a good job when I asked him to set up for each performance.
Worst part comes when Jonathan, Song En and Kean Voon nidda go for their performance. I had to do mixer and find the next group who r gonna perform. Certain times really vry geram coz next performers dunno gone where alrdy. Then clip-on got many feedback when I'm in the TV room [Tt's where the performers were supposed to wait], so I've to rush out and adjust the volume.
When the President and VP of Parry Hall Comm, I damn happy when Zhe Han [VP] said the thanking part. When he mentioned "Xinmin Media Club for their equipments and manpower" [sth lik tt la..], many Xinmin ppl cheered loudly.
Anyways, the event finally end at arnd 9.30pm, then we packed up. Then l8r saw mdm liew, ms sia etc. Omg, mdm liew recognize me sia.. frm both the Corporate Video and my SMO 18 [not chuaning here horh.. Bt then mrs wong dunno me b4 mdm liew mentioned.. :x]. Then Mdm Liew asked me to et 2nd nex yr. Siaoz.. Lik impossible la.. Senior session so damn hard...
Generally, there were sound feedbacks and Clip-on's problem for some performances. But still Si Hao said we did a very good job. And yeah, for this kind of no rehearsal situation, I think we've sort of reached the standard. And learn sth new.
Wow, realised for the 1st time how important AVA is for an event. Without us an event may not be able to run tt smoothly. [as wad Si Hao said ytd]. Yay, AVA rockkkkssss!!!! THE TEAM BEHIND EVERY CELEBRATION!!!! Hooray! :-)
Wow, one of the longest post.
