South Africa - For young revellers, the Potch Rag is an event not to be missed. This year's concert, held on the 4 and 5 February 2010 at the Potchefstroom University in South Africa, saw performances from Straatling Kinders and Die Heuwels Fantasties, with the lighting and AV provided by MGG Productions. The show incorporated the Robe 700 Beams with control by grandMA.

"The client, C2, were absolutely blown away by the Beam 700s," said Herman Wessels from MGG. "He said it was the best lighting he had seen in nine years at Potch."

Wessels rigged all the lighting fixtures on trussing. Opting for a theatrical LX bar, he incorporated a box truss with two loose trusses hung on either side. He, along with crew Deon Kriel and Kevin Rieck, used Secureload slings and steels for safety.

The six Robe 700 Spots, six Robe 700 Washes and six Robe 700 Beams were rigged on the trussing, with control via a grandMA full size and grandMA ultra-light. This was the first time MGG used their 700s. Also used on the show were a Robe Media Fusion Server and Wireless DMX systems from Wireless Solution.
