Smooth Operations: Successful Transitions Are The Key To Effective Worship Services
ProSoundWeb: There’s a moment every Sunday (sometimes several) where the entire experience hinges on what happens between the “big” elements. Not the sermon. Not the opener. Not the worship anthem. I’m talking about the parts we almost never rehearse, rarely script, and too often ignore until something goes wrong.
I’m talking about transitions.

I think church production is such an interesting corner of this industry. I have never done a big, Southern mega-church style production with flying Jesus’s and 20 person casts. However, I did run the sound and video for my Catholic school’s masses in high school. I remember how important it was that you make sure to turn on the priest’s mic at the right time so that the audience could be cued into sitting, standing, singing, responding, etc. Because there is a lot of silence in mass, its so important that moments where you’re transitioning out of silence are smooth and not jarring. Religious services have so much routine and transitions are part of that routine that have to be honored to deliver the reverence that those spaces often have. Religion is obviously so old, so technology even being involved in religious service is an entirely new thing, so integrating it into practice that has been around since prehistoric times is a challenge but an important one.
