There are lots of detractors on social media, most of whom have never seen the show, but want to blame the church anyway.

FWIW, I mixed FOH at Prestonwood Baptist for over three years, including the "Dallas Christmas Festival", and I can tell you firsthand that the story of Christ is front and center throughout.

Telling that story is heartfelt by every tech, singer, musician, actor, cast member, choir, and of course the entire staff.

Here are a couple of photos that I took from my FOH console during the show. This was in 2003, and I believe that was the first year they did the flying angels.

Here's a photo of my loudspeaker design for the Fellowship Hall at Palm West Community Church in the Phoenix area. My contact at the church was Doug Totel.

I mentioned in another post how great it is when I get to work with a church sound tech who knows their stuff. Doug worked at Shure microphones for years before retiring to Arizona, and he was a delight to work with. Great ears!

For those interested, the loudspeakers are Danley SH50's with SH95's for the downfills and the sidefills. And in the center is a flown Fulcrum passive cardioid subwoofer.

The project was completed in 2024. I spoke with Doug just recently and they still love the system. The folks at Clearwing in Phoenix did a great job installing the system for me.
