Hello. I have one more question for a recording gig next saturday (SOS & all have already given great advice)

Large choral event in a Cathedral. I have one track left from my 8, and one unused condensor (Rode NT55/omni)

What seems like hundreds of lower school children, for 2 songs only, converge upon and surround the conductor and filling the space in front of the raked choir seats. They will be literally on top of my Mid/Side rig (M/S positioned optimally for other singers), and they are fully the width of the Nave both sides. Some of them are slightly behind 180 deg line of the conductor. (ORTF high above conductor)

I want to put/try a Rode NT55/OMNI on a regular mic stand at less than optimum height (4/5'?)and only 2' BEHIND conductor! (there is a movement performance also and this is as far back i am allowed)

Novice question: how should i best orientate/point the mic? I am guessing just upward of horizontal (straight at conductors back who is on a small podium)

any advice?

cheers
steve
