The Sound System

Modern gadgets and gee-gaws are not always a good thing…

Last weekend, the settings on the sound system got fiddled with. This morning, before the 8:30, Roy fiddled back with them, and pretty much got things back where they should be (or so we thought).

When we started rehearsing, a couple of our mics started booming a bit, and when the lector got up to say her before-Mass piece, her mic didn’t quite behave as planned. More fiddling and tuning, and that was under control.

So the procession is ready to process, Roy announces the song, we start, Fr Mike starts singing, and it sounds like the whole darned church was gonna blow up (electronic noises, not Fr Mike’s singing…)! By the time we get that figured out, the whole procession had processed up the aisle. What to do? Start the song again, chop off one verse, and carry on as if everything were normal.

Everyone was still WIDE awake at sermon time…          >:->
