Cortland High School has an extremely active music and theater program. Their auditorium however suffered from multiple inadequate systems and room limitations: • Poor hard to access Catwalks • Unreliable Audio – Buzzes, Hums and intermittent problems • No multi-channel interface for audio to their studio • Insufficient fly space for scenery • Unsafe stage Rigging • Outdated Presentation Video • Poor Acoustics • Outdated and intermittent Lighting • Uneven low level seating lighting • Inaccessible FOH Lighting • Outdated fixtures, controls and dimming Working with the architect AVL developed a plan to add stage height, proper catwalks, lighting positions, new audio and AV , and acoustics including an electronic acoustic system. This system allows changing the reverberation time and early reflection density of the space to accommodate various styles of music and enhance theater productions as well spoken word. The system includes an “electronic stage shell” that enhances the experience on stage for performers and musicians without the bulky physical shells common to high school stages.
