Load-In and Load-Out: Vehicles can occupy the load-in dock area for 10 minutes during load-in time, then must be moved to our bus parking lot area (which is nearby); vehicles can be brought back to the load-out area immediately after your show during adjudication. There is NOT ample space to do a set build/construction in our wings/load-in area.

Tours of the space: Please contact the host.

Headsets: 4 headsets are available. Locations: sound booth, light booth, backstage, and 1 at the spotlight station.

Booth location: The sound booth and light booth are not in the same location. Light cues can be called via headset. Participating schools must run their own sound cues.

Piano/Orchestra Set-up: There will be an upright piano available for your use house right in front of down stage left, in a fixed location. Please note: since it is an upright piano, it will block some of the view of the stage left deck. Should you prefer to bring your own keyboard, you may utilize the electric plugs on the front of the stage. Please include your piano/keyboard information and needs on your light cue sheets.

Sound: Sound may be played from: iPods, mp3 players, and/or a computer Media Player or iTunes playlist. We will attach your device to our board through a head-phone jack input. We cannot provide adapters of any kind. There is a handheld mic available for your use. If you wish to use it, please indicate on your light cue sheet.

Lighting: Two spotlights and 1 headset are available in the balcony, house left and house right. You need to provide technicians to run them. Spotlights will be loaded with blue, green, red and yellow gels. These colors are very saturated. The 6 lighting areas are all the same size (the photo is a little off center). The center of each of the 6 lighting areas will be indicated by the corresponding letter in spike tape on the stage floor. WHS will not provide a cyc. A full stage blue wash is available – you may adjust levels for the blue wash (100%, 75%, etc.) but cannot isolate areas with the blue wash. We will run your light cues manually.  Please make sure your cues are simplified accordingly.

Our lighting areas have:

• Areas A, B, C, D, E and F are gelled in Warm Amber.  If you want to do area lighting, we strongly suggest keeping it simple, eg:  A & D at 50%, C & F at 90%.  
• The Full-stage Blue wash is a very saturated Roscoe #80 blue. It is ONLY a full stage wash!
• It is possible to combine the full-stage blue wash with area lighting in amber.  For example, you could design:
  • A & C at 50%, Blue Wash at 25%
  • B at 100%, Blue Wash at 50%
  • A, B, C at 50%, Blue Wash at 100%
• If you want your required pre-set cue 2 in a 25% blue wash instead of 25% Amber, please indicate that on your cue sheet
