[LAC-19] LAC + local high schools

[Constantin Basica]

As far as I remember, there’s no projector/screen in Braun Rehearsal Hall (right?). But we could bring a projector and screen (8’x6’) from CCRMA.

There is some form of PA in there, but that can also be brought from CCRMA.

So this could become 2 sessions of 25 students, or 3 sessions of 16 students (best). I am also hoping to enlist some of my SCU students as volunteers to help thing run smoothly.

How do you feel about teaching a workshop to so many highschool students? Like, will there be enough laptops for everyone, etc.? Also, what about supervisory staff? Would they come with the students? As for having them during paper session, Dink should be able to fit everyone without any problem.
