We have one of BC best trumpet players sometimes play on PT and you never know what he will bring and put into the music, he has brought everything from a cazoo ,to the old brown jug, and we did a interesting arrangement of Trading My Sorrows featuring him on crash symbols(they didn't quite fit in the mix and the PT leader didn't know about until the set began in service, he just pulled them out and started crashing away man my ears were ringing for days).

Our sanctuary is about 75 feet long and the balcony is at the back up about 15 feet, sitting up there you really can't hear what the congregation hears to well, they say it sounds fine to them but then the audience says that from the third row back you can't hear hardly anything. The drummer is a freshmen in highschool and is still learning but he can keep a steady tempo if he puts his mind to it, he took over when one of our best drummers left to head off the State (Go Spartans). The probelm is that the singers don't ever sing the same, during sound check they sing normal but once the service comes so does them trying to sing opera and then the sound guys really get to work. Will post a little more later I have to leave now to go to church.
