Hammer Time! (Not MC Hammer...sorry)

Today was the first day of classes. Execs had class with Tom, Artists with Rick Elias, and techs with Marcus.

Marcus talked about a lot of stuff I didn't understand. I'm kinda looking forward to being thrown into where I have to know what I'm doing. THAT is how I will learn...unless I went over to his house and had him explain things for hours...which I WON'T do. So I believe I will be the one learning the most. BUT THAT'S OKAY :)

After class I helped Marcus set up for Hammer Time. Hammer Time is when all the artists and their bands or accompaniment take the stage and practice their songs. THEN Tom and Warren (mostly Warren) help/critique to make them better. Today was mild with the helping and critiquing. I've heard sometimes Warren makes people cry. But I think we have a good and talented group...so maybe that won't happen.

During Hammer Time, I was on monitors, the wedges that help the artists hear themselves or another instrument onstage. I didn't do much while they were performing but Marcus wanted me there just in case.

This morning and afternoon was exciting. I can't wait to learn more and be a big help. But it will take time.

Tonight we have a community dinner of spaghetti. YUM!

Everybody ready?
