Hello,  I have seen on the point list how to divy up points for students who write plays, unproduced and produced, but here is the thing.  I have a student who is writing a LOT.  He has written 10 episodes of a screen play and is working with his friends and other students in my ITS troupe to produce ...

I feel like he must have but I don't know how to fix it.  I feel like it has to be something to do with the board because nothing changed in the light loft (where the dimmers are).  I am working with an old system and I can use this experience to help me in my fight for new lights, but I still need to ...

He was just here a few weeks ago and helped me learn how to get the rest of my dimmer packs and channels working as I have been operating on just two dimmers and 12 sliders for 5 years.  He told me to check the patches.  I did and from what I understand, the board looks like it should be working. ...

I will check the wattage and brands of the dimmer packs this afternoon.  I feel like that's not it though, because the breakers weren't tripped.  I'll see if I can take some pictures of what I have after school today ------------------------------ Catherine Leavitt VPA Department Head, Art & Theatre ...

I did play with the x y crossfaders and it did not help the problem.  I'm not sure I've always set them right, but I was reading about that in the manual and it doesn't seem to fix the problem.  Thank you all for trying to help me! ------------------------------ Catherine Leavitt VPA Department ...

It's a Leprecon LP 1500.  It's old.  For the past six years I only could use channels 1-12 and just last week learned how to get channels 13-24 to work.  Slider/Channel 3 has never work, which is odd.  Within a half hour, my lights went from working to not all working.  I don't have lights hooked up ...

This past weekend I had rearranged some lights on my light board. To be more specific I replaced some bulbs and hung some new lights and rearranged the plugs into my dimmer boxes. Today I showed my students the new lighting arrangement and went through all the channels (24) and they all worked. Later ...

Thank you so much!  I will make some rules for myself as to how to use the pins and other honor ware for my school program.  I'm getting a good handle on the points I think. ------------------------------ Catherine Leavitt VPA Department Head, Art & Theatre Teacher Waterboro ME -------------- ...

Hello,  I am very new to this and trying to induct my first group.  I've already signed up 6 but I have about 6 more to do.  I'm trying to get their points right, since I'm going back 4 years for some of them as we only joined back up this year. So, my question is, Do you give points to ALL STUDENTS ...
