April 1, 2007 Lighting for solo vocalists
This weekend, two songs started with a solo vocalist. I used the front lights to highlight the solos and provide a transition when the rest of the singers and the band joined in. 
In the following song, the female vocalist at stage left leads the song, so I highlighted her for the first look by dimming the front lights on the rest of the band and singers. 
I then brought up front lights on the other singers and band members. 
I did the same thing for this song, but with a different lead vocalist. 
And three more songs… 
We did one cool thing that I didn’t photograph. We have six pars on the ceiling throughout the auditorium that light the walls. With blue gels, we used them as “house lights” while communion was being served.
