Similar to media requirements, stage instructions, and customization requests must be made in advance. We only have a limited amount of time to accomplish a successful role setup before the soundcheck. If we don't have adequate time to perform our normal setup and testing, compromises will be made and reliability and quality will suffer - not just for the current event or service, but potentially for the next event or service as well.
The STEAM team will be assigned to do all setup and teardown tasks. We heavily depend on our processes for time management and troubleshooting problems. Anything that diverts from these established processes may cause major issues. During stage teardown, the STEAM rule is that the environment must be returned to either:
- exactly the way it was before the current event or service,
- or the way it needs to be for the next event or service, depending on the direction from the [R10s] Scheduling Manager.
This includes anything we use for the stage or tech (mic stands, music stands, guitar stands, DI boxes, risers, cable management, etc.). Thank you for understanding the costs that are incurred, if these procedures are not followed.
