Booth location: The sound and light booths are in separate rooms and cannot be run from the same location. The booths are not accessible by wheelchair, please contact the host and NCTC if special accommodations are needed.

Piano/Orchestra Set-up: A piano is not available. If you are bringing a keyboard, you will find outlets on the front of the stage and backstage on both sides. We do have XLR hook-ups to the soundboard on stage left and stage right, on the stage just in front of the pit, and on the front of the apron. Schools will need to provide their own cables to hook into the system. There is room enough for your musicians to play on either the left or right wings; however, we recommend that you set up on stage left.

Sound:  Please bring your own ⅛” cable connector.  Participants will not have access to a microphone.

Lighting: We will have warm (amber) and cool (blue) color wash options (downlight). Please specify on your cue sheet. We will pre-program all cues. One follow spot is available, schools must provide their own operator. View the lighting areas.
