My Anglo-Catholic parish uses incense during Holy Week and the other usual notable Sundays, and we've got one altar server who fires it up whenever he serves because, frankly, he likes it. Swings that thurifer around, too. The choir keeps egging him on to try a 360 when he incenses the congregation, but he hasn't gone for it yet. When Charlie gets the incense going, we in the choir are thankful that the new windows (that open a lot easier and wider than the old ones) were put in behind us.
The thing I never got used to in our old church was the Asperges at the Easter Vigil. I stood on the front left of the choir, behind the altar, and we would be singing the "Vidi Aquam" (I told you it was a High church) which is fairly difficult chant (especially when our choirmaster has the men and women singing different parts in some spots and unison in others) when all of a sudden I would get a face full of water because I was on the front row. My copy of the "Vidi Aquam" actually has water spots all over it, I got nailed every year with what seemed like quarts of holy water.
In our new church, the choir sings from the choir loft/gallery at the rear of the church, so we don't get any holy water at all . . . .<< sniff >> For the Easter Triduum we are downstairs, because we lead the procession of the Blessed Sacrament from the Tabernacle to the Chapel of Repose . . . right in front of the thurifer . . . so we get well and truly censed.
Lol ... reminds me of the altar server at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC? He has the step, swing and hand rotation down to a science.
You mean thurible. The thurifer is the acolyte who carries, or in your case, swings, the thurible.
