  1. Pool Sound System (Installed)


With the help and support from the Forest Lake music department and Dave Livermoore a new/used sound system was installed successfully in the pool area. An amplifier is located in the janitorial room, and a hole was drilled through the common wall, making it possible to connect the amplifier to a mixer in the pool area. This is to insure the new amplifier system is protected from the pool environment.

A mixer will remain on the tables in the pool area for daily use, with the expectation that a new mixer may need to be purchased every year.
