Unlike most rock bands, we don't have roadies that hang out in the green room inhaling the after-show munchies-- we DO have some groupies, but that's another story...

| After-concert munching |
We look to our own ranks to get the non-singing, but necessary tasks done, which will enhance our performances. Setting up the lights, sound equipment and risers goes to the highest bidder. Uh, I mean, the most willing and strong-backed in the choir.

| Rene setting up sound |
Rene, Bass, takes care of and transports the bulky lighting and sound equipment with his own van.

| Susan and John relaxing at intermission |
The choir invested in a quality set of risers a few years ago. When they are needed, setup is supervised by Susan -- who transports them with her own van from the equipments home in the basement at a local high school.

| Rex and Morgan Lifting the Heavy |
LAST SEASON"S ROAD CREW
 |
| Morgan focuses, while Rene holds the ladder -- safety first! |
Morgan - our youngest Tenor, does a lot of the heavy lifting for us and loves to focus the lights.
 |
| Diana, cord mistress |
Diana, a wondrous Soprano, runs cords and tapes them down.
"Helping with the lighting means having Pete screech "Bzzzzzt" electrical sounds whenever you plug something in. He keeps us on our toes."
 |
| David, staring into the light... |
 |
| Rex, far right -- note furry slippers in Basic Black -- concert-ready! |
Long-time Tenor, David -- and hilarious, furry-slippered-wearing Bass, Rex -- set up smaller box risers when needed. They also help to focus lights.
Other helpers, Huguette - Soprano, John - Bass and former tenor, Youssef, round out our 2010 crew. Of course many others pitched in, and if I missed you I'm sorry -- feel free to correct me in a comment below:)
