Evaluation - sound

Me and my partner had to set up the microphones. There was 4 microphones we had to set up, each of the microphones had their own color so that we would know which one was which in the mixer. We also had to set up the piano, acoustic guitar and the bass - each of them had individual color too. The reason why did this is so that we could keep everything organised. There was one problem in the speaker one wasn't working, so we got that sorted immediately by replacing the speaker. We did sound check on everything (instruments and microphones) and they worked perfectly fine. When the event started my partner was doing the mixing on the mixer while I was walking around checking the sounds, I was checking the reverberation (whether if it needed more reverb or not) and I was also checking the speakers to see if they were both working. While I was walking around the audience I also had to inform my partner that 'this instrument needs to be turned up/ the vocals need to be turned up'. We were both communicating a lot. There was no reverb on the vocals but there was a nice natural reverb when I was standing at the back of the audience.
At the end of the show we had to pack up a lot of equipment and take it back up stairs. Overall the show was a success and it was really good.

Role Evaluation

My role was to manage the box office, I had to take in the peoples money and give out the tickets. I had to also communicate with the people by saying " Hi, welcome to the show... This tickets gives you half price on drinks " ect. My other role was also to pack up the equipment and bring it to the performer's truck/car.

I was responsible for the money, equipment, tickets and making sure the people were having a enjoyable time.  If something went missing then I would be the one to get in trouble or my other partner.

I believe that the event went really well, everyone had a good time. We had loads of positive comments on what a good job we did. The people loved our service as well, we were all respectful and sensible according to the public.

The only part that I needed help with was packing up the equipment because I couldn't do it all myself. Other than that I didn't need much help since my role was easy.

What I would do differently is I'll do different job roles next time, so I can experience different job roles for future references.
