John, Since I "sort of" started the discussion about "carpeted acoustics/sound projection, I've been following it with great interest. However, I don't remember seeing anything about the system at Centennial Auditorium. Is it possible to elaborate a little more about it? It sounds interesting. It sounds like it's essentially a Wenger type of system done a different way with a great flair. I'm not familiar with "chroma-key blue". Is it a shade similar to the the normal sky-blue backdrops that are sometimes used on stage? Thanks for anything more you can tell me about it. >The position of the piano on the stage itself makes a big difference.
