Subject: [SML] box booms

I'm working with an architect who is resisting having a lighting position on the cheek walls of a new 700 seat theatre with 15' of forestage. I showed horizontal rails, vertical rails, and coves with and without access behind. He showed on picture of a HS theate without.  And the school does pride themselves on the their performing arts program.

First, a lesson. Once you retire, don't un-retire no matter what, even for just one gig.

So, group, should I keep insisting on a box boom lighting position or give up?

I have a rail on the rear wall also, a "balcony rail" position, which I'm guessing will get attacked also.  I just keep remembering Tom Skelton saying repeatedly "rail is best".

Thanks!
