Jim McDonough's Holiday Grande 2014 show

While Caleb was still on his mission he was contacted by Jim McDonough, (Link about who Jim McDonough is)about the Holiday Grande 2014 show. Jim asked Caleb if he would like to be head of Lights and sound for an upcoming tour. They worked out a deal and when Caleb arrived home from his mission he went to work on the set of the Holiday Grande show.

I was able to help him with one of his shows in Cedar Rapids at the Paramount Theater.  Basically I just moved stuff around for a long time, and then brought him breakfast.  My parents happened to be here at Thanksgiving time and since this show was during that weekend they were able to see the show!  How awesome.  Here are some pictures I took and some pictures from the internet.
