During a competitive field show (like the halftime show at a football game), the "pit" is the area on the front sideline for the non-marching instruments: electric bass, synthesizer, cymbals, vibes, marimbas, xylophones, bells, concert chimes, concert bass drum, gong, congas, jimbe, brake drum, triangle, chimes, solo mic, speakers, soundboard, etc, etc, etc. It's a ton of stuff.
The trick is that during competition, we are timed and have about 90-120 seconds to get all that equipment set up and plugged into the soundboard. (And then off again after the show) That's where the "pit crew" comes in. And I have the best one around!
Halftime is about to start:
Here comes the band and props:
Unloading the carts and setting up the pit:
Showtime!
All done. Load 'em up!
Go, go, go!
I love this picture of Daniel!
And we're done. Another job well done by the THS pit crew!
