RELAY Summer Retreat 2006 update

hey,
Because of the harsh scolding by Meagan Rimshaw on the last post I am now posting another one. Here is an update on the RELAY Retreat:

yesterday we got in and got everything set up. The MediaShout Software for putting the lyrics on the screen didn't work at first. Then, 15 min before the session it decided to work. That was my first time running MediaShout, so it went pretty smoothly. We had a couple times where Casey would start a song out a different way and the words to another verse were on the other screen. We also forgot the blank cd's for the cd burner. So we thought we didn't have any copy of the first message. Then, during announcements, we had an idea: why not sit in the front row with a video camera and get the audio that way. So we did get the audio for the message.
Then, we had a video. it was the 2005-2006 Year in Review video. It worked really well, except at the first when we were all sitting there watching it, lights off, and the sound came on, but not the video. So we heard the video, but didn't see it. Leslie told me afterward that she thought, "I didn't think there was this much music over black". Casey, not knowing there was something supposed to be up on the screen, and knowing that I was nervous about the whole thing, leaned over and said, "Well, so far so good" That's when it hit me that there was supposed to be something on the screen. I grabbed the remote for the projector and pushed every button on there until the video came up.
Other than that, it's been really smooth running so far.

See ya all later,
Matthew Reynolds
