Vinny Osborne’s sound mix was consistently good throughout, providing a pleasing mix of orchestration; chorus and individual voices with a good stage/pit balance.

Sound, in the capable hands of Vinny Osborne,
was very well balanced, confident and the cueing perfect.

The barbershop quartet was handled superbly with the melody lines ever so slightly above the other three. There was a lovely warmth to their amplification which complemented the fine blend of voices they had. `Lida Rose` stood out in particular. Some well-chosen sound effects including the train, firecracker, birdsong and crickets. No cues were missed throughout. There was a perfect featuring of the violin during the hoedown section of `Shipoopi` which was perfectly timed and enhanced to just the correct level. There was a most effective echo on Ms Sweeney`s voice as she sang offstage after the footbridge scene. A most impressive design and operation with all the stops pulled out to give the society full measure.
