Main Stage

Main Stage crew operates during the convention. We are there to entertain and inform the audience. At no time should the stage be quiet with nothing on the projector. If there are no activities planned or going on, play some music or videos. Main Stage crew is there to relay announcement to the convention. Announcements should be given to a person off stage, transcribed into writing, and then announced over the speakers. Some announcements do not need to be written, i.e. promote the vendor’s room before it closes in 10 minutes. At no time should Main Stage crew touch or mess with Tech’s equipment, i.e. Speakers or projectors. The exception to this rule is unmuting microphones and other small things. When in doubt, ask tech.
