<div dir="auto">Thanks Steve. I've had the same thought. I'm LD consultant only. I'm only there to do chess. Lights hung prior to arrival. I teach where/as I can while we design the show. I'll teach kids to run the console and simple elements to get them
excited about tech but I'm barely there long enough to design a show under regular circumstances. We shall see. </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">As others have said, if you’ve agreed to “educate some youths and design a concert of Chess” then you’re part of the faculty. What concerns me is what I see as a lack of
technical support. None of the rest of the Faculty seem to have any titles related to production management, technical direction, or production crew heads. Presumably you’re going to be in charge of the Tech labs in the mornings [since there doesn’t seem to
be anybody else,] but who is going to be overseeing all of the departments for the afternoon tech preparation? Are you alone? Eek! And, if so, does this mean you’re running the focus, running [or teaching] the console – are you also overseeing the load-in
and hang?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I realize this is a concert version, but there’s still a lot going on; are you also overseeing the “Live Sound instruction” “IATE Union history” [yes that’s the spelling
offered,] and the “how to’s”? and then overseeing the complete installation of all technical elements of this rodeo?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I have performed this kind of contract in the past, and having the opportunity to change electricians every work call and teach some new kid how to run [or just playback]
on the console is pretty exhausting.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">This might be the time to quickly acquire a contact sheet, or determine who has been the “industry professionals” in the past, and determine what’s really going on and what
will be expected from you. Also, determine your housing and how far away from your room the bar is.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Good luck!</span></p>
