Jimmy Eat World & Taking Back Sunday
Last night the convocation center was filled for a sold out show. I was in charge of volunteer security for the University Program Board. It was a great show, there were some people in attendance that wanted to keep others from enjoying, but otherwise it was a great time.

This is the stage we set up on Wednesday night. There are six 35 foot towers (four in front, two in back, suspending all the lights and speakers from the grid. We assembled the towers and grid pieces and slowly brought each tower upright, then raised the grid using six 1 ton motors. Once it was up about 15 feet we were able to start putting up the stage.
On Thursday, they loaded in the band's equipment which is seen on stage (note that it is divided in about half with the black curtain, the back stage portion has the other band's equipment already set up). Jimmy Eat World brought about 25-30 televisions that they used during their show.

Here the band's light crew makes final adjustments before the show starts. Beside the light board is the sound board and rack with the computer monitor on it.
After the show we loaded the bands' equipment into their trailer, took down the stage, and lowered the grid and the towers.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get pictures of the bands, but photography wasn't allowed at the show.
