Stage Tear Down

Today was the last day of taking apart our Christmas set/stage. This past week we took the stage apart and got it into big and little pieces. We got permission to store the stage in a long box that belongs to Emmanuel. The really ironic thing is that this church has three long boxes (semi-trailer) that are full of sets and junk from a program our worship leader did when he used to work at this church, years ago.

We hauled the stuff to the church in two trailers and a small pickup bed full. In order to load it all into the trailer we had to empty the middle trailer. This trailer was almost half full (like a bucket of water half full) with junk. It took the better part of a half hour just to get enough out and make a pile of it on the ground to make room to fit our set in on the inside.

While I was helping to empty the feeder out (long box) two other choir members took my truck and the big trailer and backed it up to where we were. There was about 3-4 inches on the one side and 7-8 inches on the other side, needless to say I was impressed with the backing job.

It made for a good morning project, just for some tense driving there and back, because the trailer didn't have any lights connected.
