[Perform-talk] Audio Quality of Talent Show

[David Dunphy]

No offense, but I didn't see you with all your recording abilities and all 
that offering to ask if we needed help to record the talent show or 
anything?
But your point is taken, and as stated, we will be working towards a better 
sound for next year. From the feedback I've received however, many did not 
have an issue with that recording.
