Children absolutely love performing music theater! Their parents become our biggest fans, and the school/community partnerships formed can not be overemphasized. However, when working with elementary children, it's critical to have access to wireless headset microphones, especially for those in the lead roles. As I teach cast members the disciplines of acting, blocking, choreography, and posturing, they need to have free use of the stage, and also of their hands. If they are wearing wireless headset mics, they are free to move about the stage as needed to create a scene, and are not encumbered with carrying a handheld mic. And although I do teach them to speak with clarity and good breath support for volume, they can not express many of the necessary vocal nuances if they are distracted by the need to "yell" their dialogue because they're not mic'd. Two products offered in the Woodwind Brasswind catalogue would be a great start for our brand new elementary school. The VocoPro 8 Channel Wireless Headset/Lapel Mic-In-Bag Package would provide 8 such mics, and we will also need a mixing board (ProFX12v2 12-Channel Professional FX Mixer with USB). I would be so very grateful if a donor would choose to fund this system for our kiddos, and help get us started!
