JP Ferrell has been out of class for several weeks. Normally this would be a bad thing; but, in this case, JP was learning more than he would in class, working at the presidential inauguration. JP was able to sign on with the company running sound for several of the events surrounding the inauguration this year and was able to work directly with some well-respected members of the audio community.  The learning experience was excellent, and the multitude of contacts he brings back with him will be invaluable as he moves into professional sound production.  Congratulations to JP for snagging this very enviable position!
