Middle school students have a special opportunity to learn valuable skills and serve the school by being part of the Tech Crew. Kyle "Spot Boy" Crouse, Nolen "Sound Boy" Gavino, and Lauren "Light Girl" Holtzman are in their second year with the Tech Crew. They've learned how to run the soundboard and light board in the Worship Center, as well as the scoreboard for the athletic events. "We have a lot of fun during the plays being in the booth running the tech side of it," said Lauren who generally runs the light board. Kyle is looking to the future, "I like this because I love to work in tech, and it could be a job in the future that I would like to do." Kyle is the lead at the scoreboard; you can see him at every home game. Nolen and Kyle are diligent about coming in early every Wednesday to set-up all of the equipment for chapel. They even willingly give some or their entire nutrition break to make sure Mrs. Stalboerger has everything she needs for the elementary chapels.  

According to Nolen, "My favorite part of tech is when we get to be ninja-like on the stage to fix something with the sound.Another key component to the Tech Crew is the Deck Crew - the students that learn the support side of stage production. Nicknamed the "Money Team", they help with painting the set pieces, changing sets during a show, and any other backstage needs in a production. Lorenz "Money" Ross, Steven "Fifty Cent"  Petynia, Calissa "Quarter" Blodgett, Brandon "Dime" Ek, Max "Nicklé" Drago, and Katherine "Peso" Miles are excited for their second big spring production.  "Being on Deck Crew teaches you appreciation for the people behind the scenes," said Calissa. Max likes "being part of a team, having fun, and working together. Plus we get cannolis after the matinee."
