We were considerably slower setting up this morning after swapping around which end of the PA we were going to set up. It was only my second time setting up the front of house, I understood most of it, but some of it is still confusing me. Andy had to re-explain the signal flow to all of us and the difference between sends and inserts which is slowly starting to sink in and make more sense.
I feel like I'm fairly confident using the desk now, at least to get the levels in. That all changed once we started to work with the band. It was a completely new experience rather than just setting up getting levels and to then pack down and I wasn't comfortable with it at all. We had to all go on stage to check the stage volume on stage was balanced, but because Andy was trying to show us all at the same time, all of us going on stage at the same time was a bit awkward and it felt like we were just getting in the way of the band. The stage in The Venue isn't massive. It wasn't like it was an actual gig, but it just didn't feel right. In the end, we agreed that we managed to get the band sounding alright and that we might have paid to watch the performance - had it been a real gig.

Live Sound Focus Week, Day 2.
21/02/17
We set up much faster today. Unbelievably fast compared to yesterday, but again we didn't have to mic everything up which is always an advantage. At first, I was working on setting up the amps and monitor rig since that was what I've been focusing on and was told it would be best to work on what I'm already starting to get familiar with. Three of us managed to set it up within about 15 minutes while the other two fifths of our small group set up front of house, so the mixer, crossover and effects unit. It was much more fast paced today because most of what we had to do was still in our heads from yesterday.
We did have a few distractions today, with a TV crew starting to set up during the morning (our session runs 10am-1pm) and once they left, they had paused the video play back from when they recorded the live Youtube broadcast on a frame with me in it, projected on to the wall which was just funny. Both days Andy has gone over the signal flow with us and it is starting to become much clearer now, not only just the chain, but how each piece of equipment works and what it does. Also, we got a little further today and managed to get the levels for all of the back line, so the bass, guitar and keyboard. That was the first time any of us had ever done that and I thought it went quite well. Andy still had to help us out with what to find in the EQ to either boost or cut, but like I said it was only our first attempt.
Hopefully tomorrow morning we will be rotating and I will be setting up front of house, so that I can start to further my understanding of the signal flow that end by physically connecting it together.

Just witnessed an amazing thing on my way to college.
As I walked up to the double zebra crossings by the roundabout, I noticed the car approaching had it's hazard lights on and was being followed by a black Mercedes and a horse-drawn carriage transporting a coffin. I decided to stand back from the crossing so that they knew I wouldn't try to crossover and so that they could all stay together out of respect, the woman on the other side of the road did just the same. The carriage was followed by around ten silver Rolls-Royce and every driver let them stick together going over the two roundabouts, leaving them in line. Once they had all passed, everything went back to normal. I stopped the traffic and crossed over. It's things like this that make you stop and think for a moment just how precious everyone and everything is.

Live Sound Focus Week. Day 1.
20/01/17
Today went pretty well to say it was a bit of a slow start having to get used to rigging up the PA all over again, but we still managed to set up fairly quickly and I surprised myself with how much I could remember. My understanding of the signal flow is still a little hazy, but I think once Andy has repeated it enough times it will be well and truly drilled into my head. The drum kit and back line were already mic'd up for us in prep for a competition happening tomorrow so all we had to do was get the levels on the mixing desk and set up the effects, compressors and gates where needed. We ended up running over by about half an hour which was needed to finish off getting the levels for the drum kit. Andy wanted us to at least get that far so we had made progress from our last session and so that we can have more practice setting up the different channels.

Half-Term
I've been working on a lot of assignments recently as the deadlines are starting to become more apparent, but I've been finding it difficult to concentrate at home. I went into college yesterday and I'm here again today to try and get some work done, but if I'm honest I haven't been as productive as I planned. I have got some work done, mind. I have made a great start on my Music Industry assignment for my tutor, Matt and I am now 600 word into the word count of about 1800. I'm all caught up with my recording journal and today I've managed to produce a plan and start researching for my Live Sound assignment.
It's hard to believe that I am "off" Uni this week, as I've been there so much regardless. I don't resent the place because of this, mind. I quite enjoy being here. I had a thought this morning of, "What am I going to do when Clarendon actually closes it's doors for the holidays or longer and I can no longer just walk in to do work, or even when I leave?". I was even in college Tuesday and Wednesday this week to start finalising my sequencing project that is also due in soon. I'm glad it's at about the right length now.
With all this stress that comes naturally with mounds of assignments, I figured that the best thing for me to do that night was to escape it and do something that I haven't done in a while.I decided to go for an evening walk. It was very dark and mildly cold, but the solitude was very satisfying, also to get away from home life and walk the canal toe path brought me back to the feel of the surounding nature. I used to do this all of the time growing up, I never really had many friends, but I would always go out for an adventure and I really didn't like staying in. It's a surprise that I ever managed to learn an instrument with the amount of time I spent outside. No, it was really nice, I took my iPod with me and shuffled along, the whole walk took me about an hour and a half just walking in a bit of a circle. I followed my end of the canal path, through Gallows Field, over the train bridge following the public toepath heading in the direction of Awsworth, but then following another path leading of that after some time back to a further part of the canal, to then walk that part of the canal, back home, but then joining back to the roadway.
I could feel my legs starting ache as I got closer to home during the last stretch, that's truely when you you've had a good walk, that and when your back starts to ache too - which mine did. I felt revitalised afterwards and fully recharged, I just now need to resurface my motivation and continue as I did in January, to conquer this monster workload and survive the mammoth month that is March. Hold steady!

Industry/Expo Week (06/02/17 - 10/02/17)
I'm not going to make a massive post about this, but this was a massive thing organised by my college just mostly for FE students to help them get into the industry. I was the only one from my course that joined in with the events, which if I'm honest I think is quite shameful. Not on my part, but for the lack of interest displayed when all the students here, you'd think are all here for the same thing; to get into the music industry.
Anyway, let me stop myself ranting and talk about whats actually been happening...
On Tuesday, I went to a positivity talk lead by guest speaker Andy Cope. Even though he was in a bit of a rush to get a train to his next gig he left us with some eye opening thoughts. Not many people wake up first thing in the morning with a positive attitude and then continue to keep that same attitude throughout the day, according to his research surveys it is only usually 2%. Even I, myself couldn't honestly say that I wake up with a positive attitude and manage to maintain it, but I do tend to be and remain positive around other people. This talk really made me think about all I do in a single day, I am quite gutted that I didn't win the t-shirt though.
Wednesday was the "BIG" day, not only for me but for two departments of the college. The BA Film & Production students came up from the Adams building in the city centre to set up a live broadcast that would then be streamed to YouTube. The live sound was mixed by the two Andys using the new digital desk and used for the video. The music students became the talent that was the main quality of the show, alongside the interviews in-between band change overs and worked as really good showcase for all of the work the students had produced over the last few months.
The video is available to view here on the College's new YouTube Channel.
I had to play in two bands this day; one if in the morning and one in the afternoon. In the morning I was playing drums for the level 1 band that I had been working on and then later I was playing bass with the level 3's that I toured schools with a couple of weeks. It was a pretty intense day with all of the students taking part in performances throughout the day, there was even a performance from Pendulums Fall, a five piece metal band formed at college - after everyone else had played on their drum kit.
The only day left that was relevant to me was Thursday. There was a performance from The Sarah Knight Band mixed with a talk from their guitarist, also lecturer Andy Scoffin on improvisation, making irregular time signatures sound more natural when he wasn't showing off his guitar skills. Then finally, there was a talk from a member of the PRS about making money from music by collecting royalties, which for the most of us was rather like an updated in-depth Music Business lesson just on the subject of the PRS.
All in all, a very busy yet successful week!

School Gigs "17 (23/01/17 - 27/01/17)
So, this manic week is finally over. It has been hard work and full of new memories, with at least one gig each day. We played eight gigs over the course of the week and I can't say it hasn't been stressful at times. Each day we would have to load the van with all of the gear. We did work very well as a team, so we managed to get this done quite quickly most days, the same goes for unloading.
On Monday we were at Carlton Digby School in Mapperley not too far away from college, but before this I had a practice session with the BA Students for their Musical Direction which I was playing drums for, so my morning was quite busy. We met up for school gigs at about 12pm to load the van. Once we got there we had a fair amount of time to set up which was nice and we had to unload into the building from the side because it was the shortest route to the hall, which was quite large. We managed to get the stage set up quite quickly for our first go, but when it came to the actual the show the sound wasn't that great. I could hardly hear my bass and for the last song I had to drop tune quickly to D on my E string and ended up being a note out, the problem being that I didn't know it was out by a semitone so it must have sounded terrible, either that or like jazz.
Once we got back I had to drive home to get changed and then drive back into Nottingham. Matt, my tutor had arranged for my course group to go and see a talk on theremins at the Theatre Royal, it just meant I had to do a bit of running about. I didn't want to turn up all sweaty from the gigs and I was desperate to wear my new boots, hand made in Italy. I quite enjoyed the show, I can't remember her name but the lady played the Zelda theme and the Doctor Who theme and that is plenty enough to make me happy. Everything else was just as interesting, but those themes were certainly highlights.
Tuesday was a lot better, even though a little more intense. Once the van had been loaded we had a long drive to Newark, for our first gig at Newark Orchard School. We struggled to find it, but we got there in the end. The hall was quite small and our stage set up and PA ended up taking up nearly half the space, but it worked and the sound was much better. Later we had a second gig at their sister school, basically it was the same school but another site which meant we had to take down the equipment not only to put them back in the van but also to set it all up again. The hall was slightly larger at the second site and it was obviously used as a dinner hall as they were still clearing the tables when we arrived. This caused a bit of a conflict between Andy Oakley and the dinner ladies, especially with us now being pushed for time. He explained to us that we need to be in and out as quick as possible otherwise we will have to wait for all of the minibuses to leave which would mean waiting about an hour. The sound was much better again and I think that day we packed down in record time, it took us about 10 minuets, maybe and then we were off. Obviously, no one wanted to be waiting around!
Wednesday was a nice easy one and bit closer to home, or college even: St Ann's Wells Academy, though before I could even think about playing this gig I had to finish and send off my context essay as it was was the deadline and I wasn't sure what time we would get back. Playing this school was quite a treat. I bumped into Ruth, who was my tutor for the first year of my level 3 course and it was nice to sit with her and have a bit of chat about this years tour after we had the PA and backline set up. It's fair to say that our best audience reaction came from this school. Every other school we had been to up to this point was a special school, this one I believe was infants and juniors and the children were lovely. I watched from the back with Ruth and our drummer, Hannah as the kids started to get up and dance, one or two at a time and they were all really enjoying themselves. By the time that we got on stage, more than half the kids were up on their feet to one side of the room, organised a little by the staff for health and safety reasons, but it really was amazing. For our last song, the head sat them all back down again so that they could watch exactly what each of us were doing on stage and so they could learn a little about how a band functions. The only difficulty that came with this school was the stairs, so loading and unloading was slow, but thankfully there was a lift that we could use for some of the gear.
Thursday was another full-on day and was very intense. We had an early start of 08:15am and three gigs to play at two different locations. I decided to take my Ukuelle with me for extra musical entertainment purposes because we had such a long day ahead of us and it is the perfect size for travelling. Our first gig was at Yeoman Park School in Mansfield Woodhouse. It was another fair sized hall complete with lighting and all of the walls were white which gave it quite a contemporary feel. The second and third gigs were at Ash Lea School in West Bridgeford, so was a fair drive from our first gig of the day. At this school we were booked to play two shows in the same hall. For the first show, we played our set first for a change to give the Andy's a chance to have a bit of a lunch break, the day had already been a rush as it is and with them doing the driving and coordinating the most of it, it's important that we kept them well maintained.
Our last big gig on the Friday was far away in the likes of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire at Melton Vale Post 16 Centre. I'm not sure if this was our biggest audience, comparing it with the room full of dancing children on Wednesday, but they were certainly our oldest audience. This was a sixth form so we were all wondering whether or not we would be able to pull this off, as youths within their age range or much more difficult to please, or at least know that they are pleased, but in the end it went really well. The stage looked like a stage for once as the students watched from the strangely american styled layered seating which reminded me of the seating arrangement in the High School Musical scene, when the cast sings "Stick To The Status Quo."
After packing down, we had already made the decision as a group (or at least the staff had) that we had to go to the Melton Mowbray pie shop on the way home. So, we parked up the mini van and Luton van with all the gear in a pub car park so we could walk into the town centre. Jasmine, one of the helpers that came with us that day pointed out that there was a KFC around the corner so most of the boys ran off across the road (with permission) to get some chicken, while I went off with the staff to grab myself a pork pie. Young Andy Peet was debating buying a six pack of mini pies and a larger one, but I think I convinced him that that was a bit much. I just brought myself one of the average sized ones which cost me about £3.50 and lasted the Journey home.
It really was such an amazing experience to do school gigs all over again and it's helped my with my course too because I've been about to familiarise myself with the basic PA set up, while showing and helping the level 3's to do the same. I'll never forget some of the kids reactions to hearing live music, especially Wednesday, that was phenomenal. It was a chance for me to bond with the level 3's a little more and really get to know them too, which I think was vital to do for the sake of networking. They know, or they should know now that I'm the one to ask (studentwise) if they want anything recording within college or even if they want advice on a project. It amazes me how some of my group don't tent to interact with the other levels, it is really is so important for us to work together. Other than the teaching staff, I am fast becoming the connection between these different groups that makes it work. I was nice to get a big special thank you from everyone for all of this at the end for all of the hard work and extra effort, both from Andy Scoffin and Andy Oakley. I even got a warm firm handshake from Andy Scoffin, which meant a lot - but these thanks were not only me, but also for Hannah. An amazing intro (level 1) student drummer whom I can only expect amazing things from as she learnt the songs in our setlist within two weeks just before the tour, after we lost our first drummer when he decided to quit the course, Amazingly fantastic!
I wonder if I will do this all over again next year? If the offer is going - most probably.
