69th Festival Of Carols Opportunity

Tuesday 3rd December 2019

Every year GYSMA holds the festival of carols. This is a concert which gives local school choirs a chance to perform in a mass carol service. It also allows the young musicians of Gysmo, Gysmokeys and FutureBrass a chance to perform Christmas pieces. As a member of boss youth orchestras (Gysmo and Gysmokeys), I was given the opportunity to help set up for the concert. This included setting up the seating for the Keyboard orchestra, which meant that I had to set up a variety of keyboards and set up the sound system set up for each of the keyboards (variety of leads, direct input into a mixer, which was connected to some amps/speakers). I think this opportunity links with my creative enterprise because I experienced what it was like to set up before a big show. There are a variety of things that have to be considered before performing a concert and i believe this opportunity has helped to expand on my knowledge of the different aspects.
