This week at Rock City I got to go back to doing some of the things I was taught my first two weeks and do them independently. I also attended my first Youth Night service which only takes place once a month. On monday I created two Ableton session files for Young and Free's "Just Jesus" and Hillsong Worships "Grace to Grace" songs. I bounced the acoustic, 2 electric guitars and bass parts for those who will be performing them at youth night this Thursday, these parts were individually louder than the whole song when bounced them. I also picked out some motion backgrounds for the 4.14.19 service coming up next week. Rock City began preparing for the 8th birthday party celebration on 04.07.19. I attended this weeks creative meeting to discuss Sundays service because of Rock City's 8th birthday celebration is a big deal! I went and played a part in the role of production at our monthly Youth Night. This is the first one I can stay and participate, Ryan put me on the broadcast mixing board, which I think is his favorite place to put me and I am rocking this from 3-9pm. On Sunday I played the role of doing whatever I'm told or mainly known as the intern's role. My job was stage manager which is similar to last week. Ryan Smith is normally in charge of what I do on campus and he's almost put me on everything. I put the podium on stage for the pastor for the first two service, because the third service we played a pre-recorded service. I also was in charge of telling the campus pastor, Kyle, when to go out on stage and do the announcements for the church to the audience.

This week at Rock City I organized our service planning center, created a propresenter for Hillsongs You & Free song "Just Jesus", and Sunday I played the frantic role of fixing the audio humming. Monday started off with 3 meetings for Nathan and Tom. This leads me to organizing the planning center website we use. I organize this by dragging the songs being played at each campus into their column. I then go to the bottom of the site and send emails out to vocalist and musicians that each campus still needs to have by Sunday and their response goes back to Nathan. I also downloaded and uploaded more Motion Backgrounds to the folder in dropbox that Rock City has with Visual Media Church. I then decided what backgrounds each campus will use. This weeks set wasn't approved yet but we were ahead of schedule which is always better than behind! Thursday the set was approved and we only had to change Ableton a little bit by taking out the reprise. I attended my first meeting and took notes for Nathan and Tom who couldn't be there cause they had to be at the Hilliard campus for a different meeting. I took notes on who gives announcements at each campus and what the announcements were. There were also no changes to the order of service so I put that in my notes as well. I had to type up lyrics for "Just Jesus" in Propresenter then I perfected them and then made copies for the other locations and put them in dropbox for Tom. I picked out some "lit" backgrounds for Rock City's 8 year birthday celebration on April 7th. I downloaded old lyric files and was told to find mistakes so Tom can fix them, and there were only a few so I made sure to be extra specific about them so it was easy to find and fix. Sunday I stage manager who took out the chairs and table to the stage for our pastor to have a one on one interview with Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. I also ran the broadcast mixing board again. This morning we had an issue with the headset microphones making a humming noise and I tried everything in my ability to get rid of it without pulling down the High cut part of the EQ. We later decided to turn down the gain of the microphones and it helped as long as we didn't turn the faders up to listen to it to above unity. The problem was solved and the rest of the services went smoothly. |
