[Perform-talk] Talent Show?

Tue Apr 26 23:35:24 UTC 2011

I do not know why this is such a big issue. The division has great people 
who work on the stage sound and get it right. As far as the recording, If 
anybody will be at the convention and would like to record the talent show, 
feel free to volunteer. I am sure our stage sound people will be willing to 
work with you. The digital recordings are not something that the division 
does, they are made by people that attend the show. The division is not 
responsible for the sound of any recording. Sometimes, I have been told 
about recordings that I did not know about. For the division itself to take 
on the recordings and make them sound perfect, we would have to invest, and 
we are willing to take donations to that end. Until such time, the 
recordings will be done by attendees.
Remember, nothing is perfect, and at least we have the recordings that we 
do. Instead of constantly finding fault with things, lets just enjoy what we 
have.

Absolutely right Bret.
(sorry if I mispelled your name)
and plus, we of all people, since we're the performance dedicated division 
should be the best at it.
