Quote: Don't just pray for something you want; give thanks for what you already have.
I am a 53-year-old drummer and a junior high and high school band director. In 1984, while playing drums in a local band, I bought a small sound system consisting of lower level gear to use with my band. I started doing sound system rentals on a small scale as a sideline/hobby to my playing and teaching career. What started out as a hobby–providing sound and lighting systems for bands in small clubs–has grown into what is now a fairly serious regional sound company, Megawatt Sound and Lighting Systems, which provides state-of-the-art gear and experienced personnel for fair, festivals and large clubs, as well as production for national acts who pass through our area. Services Provided: Sound and lighting systems for concerts, festivals, fairs, clubs, churches, etc.
