I was a marching instructor/visual at AHS, 98 to 01. Our gear was nowhere near that extensive. Times sure have changed over 20+ years ago. Great video. 👍🏼
If you are using Shure equipment, the best thing to use is Wireless Workbench. Its a free download that allows you to monitor all of your wireless channels on a computer.
@@CatherallAudio Thanks. We use four Sennheiser wireless mics for soloists. We check for interference when we are at the gate, and sometimes need to re-scan for open channels. It's a bit stressful at times. Wireless for all the keyboards seems convenient, but also headaches. We are still rockin' the analog snake from our mixer, but we just purchased a Behringer digital stage box to incorporate into our setup next year.
A correction to the last comment I made, you can use wireless workbench with any type of gear it doesn't necessarily need to be Shure equipment even though the software is developed by Shure. Wireless for keyboards would definitely be a headache and quite expensive. I wouldn't recommend it for a group unless they had a specific design effect they wanted to attempt, which Ayala has done in the past.
Something to consider, this type of setup allows the students in the front ensemble and wind section to focus more on musicality and producing good sounds out of their instruments rather than needing to always play as loudly as possible to be heard on the football field. Particularly for the woodwinds and mallet instruments which are really difficult to hear without any type of amplification.

Is there a fast way to make sure the wireless channels are clear on all of them before going on the field?

This is stupid. They should get this crap under control. It should be about what the kids can do, not how much a bunch of rich adults do.

Why not give your kids the best advantage?
