Venue Challenges

Auditorium Acoustic Constraints

School auditoriums were rarely designed with live performance acoustics in mind. Hard parallel walls, low ceilings, and reflective surfaces create reverberation that muddles vocals and instruments. The installed PA — often ceiling-mounted speakers intended for announcements — lacks the coverage pattern and frequency response needed for musical performances.

Production in these spaces requires acoustic assessment before equipment selection. Sound reinforcement strategies differ from open-air or purpose-built venues — directional speakers reduce wall reflections, subwoofer placement accounts for room modes, and monitor positioning prevents feedback in tight stage areas. The goal is to work with the room rather than overpower it.

Show Management

Multi-Act Cue Programming

A school concert or talent show may feature a dozen or more acts in a single evening — each with different lighting needs, microphone configurations, and stage positions. Without pre-programmed cues, transitions between acts become awkward pauses that break the show's momentum.

Lighting scenes are pre-programmed for each act with smooth crossfades between transitions. Lighting design accounts for the specific requirements of each performance type. Audio presets handle input routing and monitor mix changes so that the transition from a choir to a solo vocalist to a full band happens seamlessly. A detailed run-of-show document coordinates all technical departments through every transition.

Student-Specific Production

Student Performer Mic Management

Student performers are not professional talent. They move unpredictably, forget microphone technique, and experience stage anxiety that affects volume and projection. Wireless microphone assignment for young performers requires different protocols than professional productions — headset microphones stay in position regardless of movement, backup units are pre-assigned for quick swaps, and gain structures account for the wide dynamic range of untrained voices.

For musical theater productions, mic assignments must accommodate costume changes, choreography, and the physical reality of young performers wearing wireless packs for the first time. Pre-show mic checks with student performers serve a dual purpose: technical verification and confidence building.

Audience Management

Parent Audience Recording Interference Mitigation

Every parent in the audience is recording on a phone. Phone screens create a visible light field that competes with stage lighting, and camera flashes from the audience can distract performers. While this cannot be eliminated, production design can mitigate its impact.

House lighting is managed to keep the audience area dim enough that phone screens don't dominate the visual field, while maintaining enough ambient light for safe movement. Offering a professional livestream or recording alternative reduces the urgency for parents to capture their own footage — when families know a high-quality recording will be available, fewer phones come out.

Performance-Specific Design

Lighting Design for Dance vs Choir vs Theatre

Not all school performances require the same lighting approach. Dance performances require color, movement, and dramatic contrast — side lighting that reveals body form, color washes that shift with the choreography, and blackout capability for clean transitions between pieces.

Choir performances need even, warm front wash that illuminates every face without harsh shadows — the audience needs to see expressions, and the conductor needs to see the ensemble. Theatre productions require a full cueing system with scene-specific looks, spotlight capability for soloists, and atmospheric effects that support the narrative. Each performance type demands a different lighting vocabulary, and a school concert that features all three in one evening requires a rig flexible enough to serve each.
