Annual Christmas Concerts

It's that time of year again at Immanuel. Nearly thousands of people will be stepping into our doors to join us for our 25th Anniversary Christmas by Candlelight Concerts. I did not even realize until now that all shows are Sold Out. You can find more about them here.

This is my first year helping out with the concerts, I have the priveledge of being the Lighting Designer and Production Manager. A lot of the technical things would not have been possible without the help of these two vendors:

Selecon Lighting

We are in a transition phase right now with lot of our Production equipment and they have generously offered some of their products for demo use. About 80% of our Theatrical Lighting is over 30 years old. We keep the Fire Marshall far, far away from them.
Radio City Music Hall provided the Church with some OLD Kliegl Ellipsoidals after they were well beyond retirement and we are slowly replacing them. I'm thinking of putting them on eBay soon...looking for a piece of history?

Though I'm a huge ETC fan, Selecon has a pretty nice product line, with a few Very Narrow Beam Angles that look incredible. I'm in love with the Pacific 5.5-13 Zoomspot.

A friend of ours over at McLean Bible Church encouraged us to get in contact with Selecon.


Shure Wireless

We are currently trying out their UHF-R Series Mics, with the hope of installing them when we have our major facility upgrade next year. We are in love with the KSM9 Capsule, but who isn't? The boost starting around 3k creates a very pretty color.
Tomlin, Crowder, Keith Urban, and James Taylor are all users.

I'll be sure to post up some photos of our concerts.
