Producer's Chair - Revised AM Prep Schedule

Last summer we talked about the structure, the hierarchy of the Tech Team positions, and we redefined some of the position’s job descriptions for clarity, and for better effectiveness. One of the major paradigm shift’s for us last summer was in the Producer’s chair. We gave this volunteer position more authority on Sundays, and my role once the clock starts ticking is to be A1 only so I can focus on that duty. I think this has worked well, and you guys have really stepped it up and been bold in making calls quickly and effectively. That’s EXACTLY what we asked of you. Thanks so much for all of you being flexible and willing to make these kinds of changes.
The one casualty of this shift seems to have been the way my role is viewed on Sunday mornings. I believe this failure is my responsibility, and due to the way I have attempted to give ownership to you. I would like to do a couple of practical things to correct this. Namely, starting in August we will make a change to the weekly schedule. Line check will be moved to 6:40am, with a quick 10 minute production meeting at 6:50am with all members in the booth.
Revised Sun AM schedule will look like this:
6:30am – techs arrive for setup
6:40am – line check
6:50am – tech pre-production meeting/questions/90 second mini-devotion with ALL techs (Eric/Producer)
7:00am – mic check/band check
7:10am – Praise Band runs through songs
7:40am – all quiet in the house/mic up speaker (sound check if guest)
7:45am – walk-in music begins/tech double check then prayer (Producer)
7:56am – greet
8:00am – service starts!
