Teston Proms - August 2008
Badger passes on some last minute advice
Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture
PREPARATIONS
Three of the Gits - Toad, Ratty & Mole set up for the evening performance
"Here?"
"or here?"
"No that'll do"
"Are you saying we're in order?" ... "No we're not"
"You need a jiggle... OK - it's working good"
"We're going to set these up & jiggle these - I think its working"
"We need some more wire wool in here - it's not enough"
"OK. Walk back carefully. Mind the wires"
The Control Centre
Note the high-tech illumination and the sugar supply for keeping energy levels at peak values.
The cutting-edge sophistication of this set-up cannot be over-emphasized.
Now, is this going to work.... or not?
Who knows?
Perhaps Mole can be of assistance?
Pressure building up.... Will this pipe light? Will this amplifier work?
The music works and inspires Ratty to do a bit of conducting
(or is he just falling over ?)
Some Gits posing for a publicity shot when they ought to have been
keeping all their faculties concentrated on the up-coming techno-challenge
(note the admiring look from Anne)
Mole, would you please hold that balloon steady
That's better!
THE EVENT
All set... the sound works, the balloons are filled and positioned,
the rain is holding off and the light is just right to see flashes......
