What is the purpose of the Stage Diagram Form?
The Stage Diagram is one of your main ways of communicating your stage needs to the stage crew and the sound engineers. You’ll list performers, mark on the form WHERE people will be standing/sitting, WHAT they will be playing, WHERE people will be singing/talking, who needs a DI, etc. The stage Crew will set up the stage for you as you diagram it, so get this step right. A poor stage diagram will slow down the stage set-up, eating into your stage time. The stage crew tries to work as fast as possible to minimize the time they take on stage. Any and all information about your act that the Stage Crew can get before they set up for your act will help. If you need to talk to the Stage Crew Leader because you have some special needs, out of the normal, that’s fine. If there are things you want the sound engineers to know, the Stage Diagram Form is the place to note them. The more organized YOU are, and the more info you give the Stage Crew/Sound Crews, the quicker your set-up will be. Since
