Tired, but proud!

I'm VERY TIRED right now. I have arrived home after being out for 19 hours, working officially for 17(ish) of those. We hosted Saturday the touring company for Million Dollar Quartet. This meant arriving around 6AM to ensure the building was prepped and unlocked for the road crew to come in and take over our building. This would be the second touring Broadway show in our building, but our first with our student crews leading the way. Leading up to this, we spent the day Friday stripping the pipes that fly things in and out of the stage that would be used by the show and also cleared the stage of all extraneous equipment. My staff arrived shortly after I did and dove right in. Once I had assigned my team leaders as department heads, then splitting the rest of the crew there into teams, all I really had to do was stand around and, as I said it, 'Keep the building from burning down.' My teams followed directions and got things done efficiently, we were able to unload and have the show ready to go for a 2 PM show. After the 7:30 show ended, we put everyting back into the trucks so the company could go to their next city, St. Louis.  My crews then set the pit for the opera's orchestra (the opera is playing on Friday and Sunday). All day, they stepped it up and made my job easy. They did the work and kept the touring company happy. After the trucks had been loaded and the crew was about to go on their way, one of the crew that I worked closely with throughout the day told me how impressed he was with how well our crews worked. It is one thing for me, who works with them and have seen their progression to say, "Oh yeah, they are coming along really well and they are doing great," and it is another thing for a professional to come in, only work with your employees for one day and express how well they worked. I want to take this opportunity to thank all my staff for the hard work they put into today to make it such a success, we really couldn't have down it without you.
