[SML] box booms

[Bill Conner]

Good point.  I did already tell that exact point to architect, and most
universities and at least all the HS I've worked on.  He showed a picture
of one he did previously that didn't. Surprise.

I might give up if it weren't for the deep and (too) wide forestage, but
I've long thought the ability to blend forestage with stage via lighting
was very important.  I hate that when a performer crosses the plaster line
and changes look.  Plus the forestage is used a lot with house curtain
closed and often web cast or televised - which demands some accent lighting.

Yes I unretired for one more I thought would be fun - but not so much it
turns out. On the other hand, I'm doing a project for a friend - free - a
really crappy 1960s HS and modest upgrade - and really enjoying that.
Thanks for asking, Dave.
