Well, I just did my first solo Directing for Willow Creek DuPage. It went quite well. At first I was confident. I though: “Hey, this is easy. You have done it before at TCD. How different could it be?” Then the time crunch started leaning on me. 
It was 6pm and we had not finished sound check. It was all the stupid small things that were holding us back, along with 3 people trying to figure audio problems out. It was really stressing out the audio guy. Anyway, once we started the service, it was all down hill from there. (and I mean that in a good way, the “Hey, I don’t have to peddle my bike anymore” way) Everything went quite smooth, so smooth that while looking in my backpack, I saw I had Biger with me, and started taking pictures of him “running the show.”
I am guessing at least two people up in the booth were looking at me funny but I don’t mind. Yeah, it wasn’t professional, but I still pulled off a professional service. I was told that Shelton was quite nervous because it was a full band. Yes, I do belive I forgot to mention that. Full band: Full drum set, 2 electric guitars, 1 accoustic guitar, 1 bass guitar, keyboard, and 5 vocalists, plus the video feed. It was quite a big show, no wonder he was nervous. Unfortunately I can’t be there for the Tuesday Thanksgiving service; I have work and can’t get out of it. Oh well. Next time.
