What does it take to put on a concert for a leading Christian worship artist?  Commitment, dedication, and thousands of planning decisions.  Mission Bell was responsible for coordinating the needs of the Majestic Productions touring crew with the assets of the venue, Centre Street Church.  It's a job that never gets noticed... except when it's not done. 

For the HELLO LOVE tour, work involved preparing items from a touring rider, recruiting and training local crew, coordinating on-site access, and providing support systems including generator power.  How did we do?  The real judge of that is the show.  Since the proper steps were taken to prepare, the tour crew was rested, had time for a good meal and was able to put their best effort into an incredible concert for a packed house of almost 2,300 concertgoers. 

A big thanks goes out to Jon Weir, Brain York, Derek Seal and the rest of the crew at Majestic who were magnificent to work with, generous with their time and professional advice, and willing to put in more then necessary even at the end of a long tour schedule.  We hope to see you again soon for some more shows!
