Taking this in a slightly different direction... When I've taken on choosing and then producing a musical, having video available has been enormously helpful. While I have season tickets to my local Broadway Series, there are many musicals I have not seen (I live in a rural area). The summer before ...

I realized I mixed two separate question into it (archival video and online video). Thanks for replying to both.

I observe that Youtube is full of high school productions from just about any musical, and I am most curious how they are able to post these. Does MTI offer behind the scenes licensing that smaller schools don't have access to? The licenses, even when available are very explicit about not allowing posting ...

I wanted to follow up with my Wireless Mic experience for anyone who stumbles upon this thread in the future. We went with BodyMic's (Rod Reilly's) system as described in the original post.

My middle school group of eight 14 year olds is putting on a musical, and I am using the opportunity to purchase a wireless mic system instead of renting. I've come across Bodymics' analog system which is (less than) half the cost of anything else I can find which claims to be appropriate for live musical ...

Thanks for giving me some brands to look into. I was hoping the $300 powered speakers I linked to in response to the other replies above would allow us to at least perform this year. I understand that Amazon review doesn't make something "decent". I have a lot of googling to do with the advice you and ...

Wow. Lots to consider, thank you. Mixers: you will "need" 12 or 16 - this is from experience. I get it and you are correct about needing at least 12. Thank you. Digital mixers ... allow you to create recallable scenes Thanks for recommending the Soundcraft EPM12. At $369, this ...

Our 6th - 8th grade middle school is looking to purchase a budget sound system. We'd start with 8 wireless lapel + headset mics, 8-10 channel mixer and speakers. I am new to this, so I won't take offense at (and would appreciate) being corrected where my ignorance is in the way. Based on research so ...
