Introduction
TSC is Sheffield Students' Union's tech crew. We're a group of volunteer students who run the SU's events. This includes everything from our club nights, to the gigs in Foundry & Fusion, to the events in the Octagon Centre. You name it, we probably run it.
I found TSC to be a great way to learn new, practical skills in a way that's hard to find elsewhere. The training is free, and the experience is applicable to the rest of the entertainment industry.
What I've Accomplished
Joined as a Junior
Dec 2024
I joined TSC as a Junior in December 2024, just before the Semester came to an end. After Christmas, I worked my first night at Roar, learning the basics and getting to know the team. With a few nights under my belt, I began attending Wednesday training, where I would learn about sound engineering and lighting rigs.
Easter Junior Training
April 2024
TSC holds Junior training twice a year: once before Christmas, and once during the Easter break. It's a three day course where Juniors are taught everything there is to know about sound, lighting, rigging and running gigs.
The highlights from my training include:
- DMX and Avolites lighting desks
- Stage decking, mojo and suspension
- XLR, Pioneer DJ equipment and PA systems
- 13A, 16A and 32A electrical safety
