DCA Programming for different vocal parts

ONU's Holiday Spectacular is one of my favorite shows. It is 45 minutes packed full of everything Christmas. My first year working the show I was the QLab operator, but this past year I was the sound engineer. Both years I was working within QLab with programming and editing cues, assisting and running cabling for the orchestra, and using Dante to make different patches. When mixing I got to reconfigure some of the DCAs to better fit the roles of the show. DCA programming is something that makes mixing for me much easier. 

Upon taking the show to Lima this previous year, I was the sole person in charge of getting everything set up. All of our equipment went, from speakers to cabling. It was a long week, but it pays off when there is a full house that gives a standing ovation at the end of the show.
