Technical Setup - By far one of the most challenging responsibilities of the festival, the Audio/Visual area, is key to the success of the festival. Season of Our Joy is a 'teaching' festival.  Providing scripturally accurate, thought provoking messages to those who attend has always been the primary focus of the founders, but having a person speak without the technology to enable everyone to hear and see him is of no value. Thus, we depend heavily on technology to help us deliver the messages to you, the listener as well as those viewing our sessions on the Internet. There are a number of service opportunities available in this area, but this one pertains to setting up and taking down the equipment.

All the A/V equipment must be set up prior to the festival.  This year (2011) this task will take place beginning Monday Afternoon, October 10 with the majority of the work being done on Tuesday.  Lee Miller and Tim Kelley will jointly lead this crew, with Lee taking care of the Audio and Internet equipment while Tim takes care of the Video equipment. 

This crew will be stringing audio and visual cables as well as hanging speakers, lights, cameras, projectors, etc. We need a couple of people who are agile enough to climb a scaffold.  Those who can help set up will need to be available Monday at noon and Tuesday morning (Oct. 10-11).

 At the conclusion of the festival, this crew will take everything back down and pack it up.

• Service Times:  Two days prior to the festival until everything gets set up.  Take down and pack up usually takes about 3 hours immediately after sundown at the conclusion of the festival.
• Shift Frequency:  unless minor corrections are needed, this crew will not be needed during the festival.
• Experience:  Knowledge of the operation and setup of audio visual equipment is helpful, but not necessary.  Some tasks may require a person to climb a ladder or work from a scaffold or catwalk.  If you have helped in this area before, your assistance again this year would be greatly appreciated.
• Positions Available:  Team Leaders and  8 Helpers
