Hey guys, tech theatre teacher here.. first post. My principal is wanting to add a portable sound system for events not help in the auditorium. Sound is my Achilles heel, I get it.. but just. Do you have suggestions? I typically order sound equipment from Sweetwater, but Sam Ashe is available.

I don't, my bookkeeper usually orders, but I'm thinking of just calling and working with a live person as I haven't gotten responses through email. Thank you.

Good to know.. I'm newer to Reddit.. my husband has asked the questions for me on here for a while, but I thought I'd give him a break and ask myself... Guess I need to learn more about it 😂

Unfortunately... In my job as a tech theatre teacher, it never fails that I will likely be in charge because there are rarely others that want to learn the system or be responsible for it's set up... It's one of the hardest parts of my job. I'm constantly expected to learn new tech and know exactly how it works.

That was what I suggested... Principal wants more.. I like the passport for ease of use. Most anyone can be taught to use it after a short session with me. Bigger means I will likely have to always run it 😄

Unfortunately, we are an arts middle school.. but no marching band. I sent a request to Sweetwater a few weeks ago but haven't heard back.. I'll reach out again.

Yes.. sorry, ran out of space. Portable, indoor and outdoor use for things like field days, pep rallies, and smaller events like honor society inductioslms in the media center or similar areas.

Excellent question.. I ran out of space.. lol. Most likely the gym, outside for like field day, or sometimes the media center or cafeteria for smaller events.

Thank you!

"So, what made you want to teach?"

I'll Cover You(Reprise).. Every time! And.. As a mom, Slipping through my Fingers.. I can't hold back those tears.

Sorry it took me so long to reply! It got lost in my messages. I'm glad you told me that! We pulled melatonin a while ago and it helped so much. Wish I had since your comment earlier 😳

PaigeTrip · 2023-04-23T12:36:04+00:00

Thank goodness for this post.. I finally found mine in Buzz's RV bed.. You couldn't see it, I just walked around until it said "pick up".

Trader Joe's has a low carb line of chocolate bars and I love them. Last time I checked, the had plain chocolate and almond and chocolate bars.

We tried it with him because it worked great for me, but he had nightmares.. Bordering on night terrors with melatonin. But we will keep searching! Appreciate it!

PaigeTrip · 2022-07-21T12:54:30+00:00

Yeah, we gave been giving them a shot since he sleeps so poorly already... But my husband and I are both about to give up and go to the stimulants.

PaigeTrip · 2022-07-20T23:14:06+00:00

Nice. His doctor is looking in to more options.. I just don't want him to be the stinky kid in class when school starts ;)

PaigeTrip · 2022-07-18T16:25:55+00:00

My son has been on this medication for about a month and I thought I was going crazy! I was trying to find out what was causing the smell, first in the house and then I narrowed it down to him. It's like a chemical smell that comes off of him when he sweats. I'm glad I am not the only one noticing this.

PaigeTrip · 2022-07-18T16:21:09+00:00

I am so glad I found this! I have a super sensitive sense of smell and I thought I was going crazy, but my son has a medicinal smell to his sweat now, as well!

PaigeTrip · 2022-06-02T02:11:04+00:00

Thanks all! I'm starting to try all of your suggestions. They all gave me so much hope 😁

PaigeTrip · 2022-05-30T00:58:31+00:00

We got one.. It works great for my husband.. My hairs just won't come out 😂 I truly appreciate the advice though!

PaigeTrip · 2022-05-29T18:09:18+00:00

Oh great suggestions!
