Hi Everyone,
Although my school's
theatre is very high-tech and has many clear com packs, we seem to run out of enough to have both the sound board (in the
house) and the conductor (in the pit) on a clear com. So who do you guys think is more important - the conductor or the sound board? I have done shows with both, and it seems to me that having the conductor is more useful than having the sound board - it seems the sound techs just use it to report cameras they see and to tell us to fix mics back stage, while with the Pit, I can actually cue the conductor to start the overture/entr'acte and music cues after scene changes. But, let me know what you guys think!

Edit: I put this in stage management because I am the PSM at school, and wanted to know what is the best for calling the show.
