Our school musical productions have been plagued by sound issues. Our students work so hard to bring quality productions to the community, but our school lacks the proper audio equipment to amplify their performance. Imagine the disappointment that cast members face when their family members in the audience report that they can't hear them. We want their talent and dedication to be heard! Our auditorium was built without a fly system, so we are unable to hang choral microphones to capture students' voices. We need to place boundary microphones along the edge of the stage so that students can be heard over the accompaniment. This project will improve the experience for the audience and the performers, and it will enhance the program as a whole.
