It all worked out great! My concert band recording, that is. I coordinated
with the video crew director that I knew from 10 years ago, and he had no
problem with my mike stand. His cameras were static remote controlled units
that just sat on the two sides of the stage and one in the balcony.

I set up my microphone stand in the front aisle sitting low for the
pre-show. On the pre-show they take up the front of the stage and need the
room. Also connected the Tascam DR-07 to the house system to pick up voice,
and that worked out great.

Then after the pre-show I had to quickly lift the microphone stand up onto
the apron of the stage and get my wires taped down so that the color guard
could walk through on their way to the stage. No tragedies there, and I
eventually just put all of the XLR cables up on the stage just at the base
of the stand, and then there were no cables on the floor. I was also able to
hang the recorder by its cables from the lip of the stage, held by some
gaffer tape so I could see the meters. The recorder is so light that this
worked famously.

H6 performed once again flawlessly, great meters telling me exactly what is
going on. I recorded all 4 channels of my basic setup, 4 mikes in a square.

Editing is going as planned, and the announcers and singers voices are
fabulous, mixed in from the house mikes. The music was spectacular and I got
it all, and I did it my way! All that remains is my mastering skills.
