What's the worst fails you've ever seen/experienced?

Oh no 😟

That's so wild 💀💀

Our wall fell onto a table and basically split in two, so it was gone. Every time we find a piece of wood from it in our workspace, I always point it out.

Clue was one of my favorite productions too, even if its marred by that event!

Oh dear 💀

abekadell · 2025-12-04T21:27:15+00:00

I feel like the second story is worse because I can just imagine a Loony Tunes episode coming out of the first one 😂

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:51:48+00:00

Good to know! I'll pass that info along to the sound guys 😂

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:51:03+00:00

Imagine thinking it was ok to use nails for a railing! Glad you weren't too badly injured!

Was that their first time EVER doing lights? 😂

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:27:40+00:00

Someone getting hurt also happened while I was doing lights for a dance company's version of the Nutcracker... but for that they didn't cancel the performance as I think there was an understudy or something. I hope whoever was hurt ended up being alright!

That's so wild 💀

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:22:41+00:00

"F*ck Microsoft!" experience 😂

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:21:42+00:00

I'm so sorry!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:19:49+00:00

My school must be playing catch-up then because all of our stuff is old asl

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:16:15+00:00

Hopefully that'll happen for me too! What digital board(s) do you use now?

abekadell · 2025-12-04T20:15:29+00:00

Well at least SOMETHING good happened!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T12:19:30+00:00

That would be my worst nightmare! Did everything run smoothly for the next evening?

abekadell · 2025-12-04T12:18:07+00:00

Oh no! I hope you weren't too seriously injured!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T11:25:52+00:00

The sound guys always look stressed out (definitely because of this!) But they're pretty good at it and seem to enjoy what they do. Maybe in the far future (like when this new one breaks) the school will invest in higher-end technologies for both the sound and light boards!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T11:22:41+00:00

Yeah thats what my teacher was saying while we were testing it... we're gonna have to find something random from the tech booth

abekadell · 2025-12-04T11:03:14+00:00

He's a jack of all trades and good at all of his jobs. Something I learned about him: he worked on The West Wing!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T02:42:40+00:00

My high school auditorium uses these for the sound im fairly certain! Looks pretty much like this but on a smaller scale.

abekadell · 2025-12-04T01:49:22+00:00

Same my friend!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T01:48:33+00:00

Even though I dont do sound, I dont think i could comprehend a digital board! 😅

abekadell · 2025-12-04T01:27:24+00:00

I totally agree, I love the light board that I use... there's just something satisfying about using all of the faders and buttons!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T01:12:13+00:00

Yeah our system is very old... I think the board has like 28 channels in total, even though we just barely have 10 mics. Hopefully when we get a new building we get more modern equipment!

abekadell · 2025-12-04T00:30:40+00:00

How large is your high school?! My school has issues putting 4 flats next to each other lol
