Students To Watch OZZY OSBOURNE Concert Set-Up

January 16, 2008

According to London, Ontario, Canada's Western News, about 100 students from the Don Wright Faculty of Music will join others from Fanshawe College and the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology at London's John Labatt Centre Saturday morning to watch the installation, from load-in to sound-check, of OZZY OSBOURNE's show.

"It will give them a window on what it takes to pull off a large professional stage performance," said Mike Godwin, technical officer at the Faculty of Music.

"Any big touring group has to adapt their sound system to the space — and do it quickly. It is educational for students, especially if they've never been exposed to this before."

The load-in consists of taking performing equipment, from microphones to pyrotechnics, from eight transport trucks and setting up in the JLC. The students will watch as the crew adjusts to the size of the stage, the acoustics of the space and conducts a sound check with the band. They will also be given a tour of the facility.
