Radio Primer
When you press the button to speak, wait a couple of seconds for the repeater to detect the signal before speaking. Hold the button down while you talk. Speak slowly and briefly. After speaking, let the button out and wait for a response. It may take a short while for others to be able to respond to you. After waiting for a response, you can try again, making sure you are holding the button down firmly while you speak. Two people cannot speak at once. Say the name of the person you are trying to contact and identify yourself as well.
Essentials for Stagehands
Well-fitting gloves with good grip.
You’ll be handling heavy sound equipment. Protect your hands and ensure a good grip.
Sturdy shoes or boots, preferably with steel toes, with good grip.
You’ll be going up and down ramps and especially if it is rainy you need footwear with soles that grip well.
Camping
We are guests on a working farm.
Please be considerate of this land. When you pack up and leave, don’t leave behind any trash or litter. There will be trash pick-up during fest and after fest. Bring trash bags or go to Camping Headquarters and get a few. Leave nothing but footprints!
Do not bring any glass bottles into the campground!
Cans or plastic are okay. Do not bring large items into the campground unless you can guarantee taking them back out with you.
