St. Bernadette

St. Bernadette Catholic church and school hosted a fundraiser at the Denver West Marriott hotel last night.  We really enjoyed playing for that event.   The venue was really good, big stage and dance floor and easy access from our truck to the stage.

We set up in a different configuration that seemed to work really well.  Dan set up stage left, then Tom stage center left, then John stage center, then me stage center right, then Paul stage right.  I liked that arrangement because I didn’t need to depend on the PA to hear John and Paul.  Speaking of the PA, we had some initial problems with our new digital mixer.  It would not connect to our laptop.  This is not the first time we ran into this problem.   Luckily, the mixer was already balanced and although we couldn’t make changes, it still worked.   We will need to work on this to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

The crowd was really great.   As usual, we pulled them on to the dance floor right away and played until 11:15 with someone on the dance floor the whole time.  Due to a late start (at 9:15) waiting for the auction to begin, we just threw all our songs into one big set and played without a break.   But I didn’t mind.   Everyone was having such a good time, I really didn’t want to take a break.
