Stage Crew & Tech Team
WELCOME!
Every great concert is more than just music, it’s an experience. The lights, sound, and visuals all work together to bring the performance to life. That’s where the tech team comes in. They make sure every microphone works, every spotlight is in the right place, and every effect happens at the right moment. Without them, the audience wouldn’t hear the singers, see the band, or feel the excitement in the room.
Being on the tech team means you’re not just helping, you’re making the entire concert possible. Your role is just as important as the performers on stage, and it comes with a lot of responsibility! This is an incredible opportunity to learn how a concert operates behind the scenes!
Tech Team Positions
Tech Team Positions
Below is a list of the available positions on the tech team.
Don’t worry if all of this feels new, nobody expects you to know everything right away. Just like learning an instrument, you’ll pick it up step by step.
The important thing is showing up, paying attention, and working together. Every role on the tech team matters, and the concert simply couldn’t happen without you. You are an essential part of bringing the music to life!
ProPresenter Operator

The ProPresenter Operator will enable the live video to the audience screens and click through lyrics to display them to the vocalists. This job requires you to be attentive and on time.
Propresenter is the industry standard in presentation software for live events.
For this concert, we will be using ProPresenter for two important purposes:
Display lyrics to the vocalists to ensure they sing the lyrics accurately and confidently.
Display pictures to the audience at the beginning of the show.
Video Mixer Operator

For this concert, we will be blending video from multiple separate sources:

Camera Operator
The Camera Operator is in control of positioning a camera on the stage! To showcase everyone in the band, we will need to move our three cameras around to include everyone in the live video feed. This job requires good listening skills, and a creative personality!
Stage Manager
Stage Manager
The stage managers are in charge of a few very important tasks. Those tasks are, but not limited to:
Making sure the correct musician is on their instrument for their song
Making sure each musician is prepared for their time to be on stage
Do they have their In Ear Monitors ready to go?
Do they know if they are starting the song?
Making sure song transitions happen quickly
Managing stage crew to make sure these tasks happen in the most efficient way possible
This can be a stressful job, so it is important that you have a game plan ready and are ready to be a problem solver.
Don't worry if you happen to make a mistake, your music teachers will also be helping with this job to make sure the concert is successful. You got this!
