Beginning at 9:30 pm, each participant school will be provided 5 minutes for students to familiarize themselves with the lighting control setup. Groups will be brought up to the booth area(s) and given an orientation on the operation and follow-spot/other procedures.
Groups will not be given extra time to work with the control systems. The setup will be the same for all participants, and all participants are invited to the walk- through. Groups not participating in the walk-through will have to use the 15- minute setup time to familiarize themselves with equipment.
