[SML] floor pockets or drop boxes

[Matthew Breton]

My own preference would be a wall pocket (usually on the proscenium wall, but well offstage of the opening) and a floor trough that runs upstage-downstage.  The trough, don't forget, is optional; you can always run circuits a different route to clear the path for stage wagons or what-have-you.  But it also means that electricians can run circuits from the deck without having to go up to the grid (for drop boxes), or wondering how they're distributed.

Subject: [SML] floor pockets or drop boxes

Interested in opinions on whether for dance sides, would you prefer floor pockets or drop boxes (assuming galleries and/or grid for spotting them)?  I know that the same floor pockets for dance may also be used for practicals that are not battery operated.

Similar question, floor pockets for cyc ground row?

Thanks.
