I found this article - really interesting stuff, on Decca Trees and other stereo techniques

We are about to do Les Mis School's Edition and I have the lovely job of doing the sound.
However, looking for some advice.

Hi all-newbie here with a question. My daughter's HS marching band also performs orchestral music (upper college and sometimes professional level pieces) at a local church sanctuary which is huge-seats about 3000. Next month the chorus will be doing the show along with the band. So I'm looking for advice on mic placement,how many mics I would need,and which mics would work best.
