Howdy, Tessiturians and friends!
This message goes out to all of the Tessiturians participating in the band this year, as well as everyone here who's not performing this year but is attending this year's conference in-person and would like the satisfaction of knowing you helped us out (and/or knows someone else who might want that satisfaction).
We are looking for folks to help us in the following ways:
1) Create and/or run the supertitles for each song — This mostly entails creating a Powerpoint deck with all of the lyrics (which should end up looking similar to karaoke or a lyric video for each song) and running it along with each song as they're performed, so the audience can read along and/or sing along. In the past the creation and running of the slides have been done by the same person, but it could be different people if necessary. If multiple people are interested we can split up the tasks/songs. It would be helpful if this volunteer(s) could attend the Tuesday night rehearsal to do a test run.
2) Record video of the performance — No specialty equipment required – simply recording a song from start to finish on your phone would still be better than what we had in the earliest years of the band. If you've ever looked through the Tessiturians Band YouTube page, you can get a sense of how we have recorded these shows over the years; of course we plan to add this year's videos to the YouTube page (a.k.a. the only public historical record of the Tessiturians!). You can commit to recording 1 song, 2 songs, or the whole set if you like, but in the interest of ensuring full coverage, we do want to coordinate who's doing which song(s) ahead of time.
Please respond here ASAP if you are willing or know somebody who is willing to help with either of the above. You (and/or your willing friends) can also email Dale at daucoin@tessituranetwork.com to express interest.
Thanks so much,
Your Tessiturians Planning Committee
Dale, JD, Brian, Tony, Kate, and Jordan
