iCelia saves the day!!!

No no iCelia is not some Apple product. Its just the name I gave to my iPod.

Today *checks time* nope, Yesterday, we had Sports Night. It seems to be more of Sports Evening. Anyway, I had to dug out our miking control from the tons of rubbish and dust which have collected over the past year in the gymnasium. Not that the gym hasn't been used for such a long time. Its just the control system. I wasn't surprise to see the horrible state it is in...

Firstly, the wireless mike receivers are still working, although the front panel for the second receiver has been knocked off, leaving bare circuitry and LED lights. I though that was the worst when I discovered, there were no wireless mikes. They vanished into thin air...

Secondly, the CD player seemed to become really rusty too. The disc tray slided out 1 cm when ejected and I had to pull the rest of the way. However, it soon opened and closed properly. I also though this was the worst till I insert the disc with the school song. What shows up on the display was:

"Loading..."
"No Disc"

-_-||

Time for the CD Player to retire...

What to do? Equipment all rusty and malfunctioning already. We managed to make do with the corded mike, which although created a lot of interference and static, works surprisingly well. I was expecting worse. Anyway, for the school song and background music part, I resort to something which I had never done before...

Sry for the blank iPod screen. Its just too bright for my phone to take the pic properly...

I plugged my iCelia into the mixer control...

If you notice carefully, the Master and CD Volume are turned up to Max. Yea max volume. This is the downside of using any MP3 player, the signal produced are just too low. This explains why we had to set the mike volume around the 1-2 zone (Max: 10). However, I bet most of you didn't know that all those rock songs I played during the event and the school song were from iCelia right? *grinz*

The rain isn't helping one bit... Of all days... It simply have to rain today... ZzzZzz...
