| Comments: | Andrew, more commonly known amongst his fellow team members as 'Voldemort' or 'Voldy' was a lighting prefect from the years 2008-9 however, whilst he may have only been a member of the team for a short period of time, his skills brought to the team from his previous school were much appreciated and he did an excellent job recently in operating the 2009 performance of 'Guys and Dolls' as the main lighting operator. He plans to pursue stage lighting at university. |

| Favourite Quote: | How do you spell dyslexic? |
| Comments: | Jack was a member of the SLST from years 9 through 13, during which time he was a sound prefect in year 13. He is the most skilled member of the sound team and is often teaching younger members the ways in which the RGS SLST sound system operates. Much of his knowledge was passed down to him from previous senior members, mentionably Michael Kew, however Jack has also learnt a lot independantly and is the ideal head of sound. |

| Year Joined: | 2004 |
| Favourite Quote: | Don't do that... EVER! |
| Comments: | Michael was the head of sound for his final years at the school and was one of the most knowledgeable sound prefects the team has ever had. He taught the sound team members everything they know about how to operate and configure the sound system in the Queens Hall and his knowledge will remain in the team for years to come. He was a very strict enforcer of the rules which set a good example and high standard amongst the team and he also donated a lot of resources to the team in his time as prefect. |

| Favourite Quote: | "Someone needs to teach you about the concept of sarcasm, Alan" - A. C. Balaam |
| Comments: | Alan Wright was one of the most well known members of the SLST. He gave the team a positive image with his good sense of humour and ability to make jokes where they were most inappropriate. However, he was also a very serious team member and his notable acheivements include performing as an outstanding Stage Manager during the 2009 performance of 'Guys and Dolls' as well as the creation and implementation of this very website - an outstanding acheivment in terms of dynamic structure and reuseability. He was an inspirational member of the team, being in charge of sound in his final years and will be remembered for years to come by not only the SLST but also members of the school in general. |

| Year Joined: | 2004 |
| Favourite Quote: | Which end is the male end? |
| Comments: | James has been one of the most dedicated members of the team ever since he joined. Being a boarder he was often spending his own time in the Queen's Hall making sure every event however small was functioning properly backstage. Recently one of his more notable achievements was his dmx patching system. James' commitment and hard work was inspirational and will be greatly missed. |

| Comments: | Tom Sears is an infamous member of the SLST; best known for his skills in lighting design and operation, Tom is a true SLST 'legend' and will remain to be the key inspiration for many young lighting operators for years to come. In 2007, for example, Tom blew us all away with his stunning performance as lighting operator for 'Staff: Live and unplugged' and his extensive knowledge and skills have been passed down to the current leaders. |
