My first paying job was working for the Troy School District as a theater technician. The Performing Arts Center at our high school was rented to local organizations for events; it was a very nice facility, and as theatre kids we were trained on the lights, sound, pinrail, and other technical aspects of the theater. (I even helped Dr. Ruth Westheimer up on a podium while working there).
At one variety show, I was moving musical equipment on and off stage. This was circa 1983 or so, and I recall vividly a synthesizer rig being wheeled out on stage. It was a Memorymoog. Someone tripped over the cord and the thing got unplugged; all the patches had to be re-programmed before the act could go on.
