| Stage | Jason Kirby | Gerald Berard; SuMalei Kirby; Matthew Chappelle; Cameron Korell; Ebony |
Stage overseer: Jeff Korell.
Purpose Thank you for helping on the stage! Your team places the stage microphones and stands, runs the microphone cables on the stage with Audio Cabling, and shows the stage assistants how to place the microphones.
Assignment scope
The Loudspeakers team places the two stage monitors, and Stage agrees their positions. Audio Cabling places the AMC-3 (audio multicore) stage box.
⚠️ Stage safety
• Please take care at the stage edge, and tape cables flat so nobody trips.
• Connect the XLR cable before mounting each microphone.
• Roll the MS-1 (microphone stands, 30 kg) case with a helper.
