The Show WILL go On!

I am choreographer for High School Musical in Midvale Ut. And during this show I am also running sound. We got there last night to set up and realized that the dressing rooms had been broken into and more than 1/2 of our sound equipment was stolen. They had rifeled through all the costumes as well....and wrote stuff on the mirrors with shaving cream. We lost mics, mic cords, 5 speakers and 2 sound boxes. We were all devastated....then in turn angry and also determined that it wouldn't get the better of us. We decided to do the show with only 4 wireless.....we usually have 10! But because our sound boxes were gone....had to use the only one left! Luckily our director took the mic packs home every night!! So we still have all our wireless mic pacs. It was good we did the show. We started 40 min late but the audience was patient and the show DID go on. It turned out pretty good considering a lot of speaking parts were not heard very well. The kids really turned it up a notch and started the show of their rendition of "We Will Rock U!" ha...got them pumped! They had tons of energy and did great. Yay us!!
