its easier to lock the booth to keep out unauthorized people and make all the staff aware that u are willing to do tech work for anything, including chorus and band concerts. even though those things are often boring to work on, it will keep people from messing with your boards and the staff are always happy for the help. you would be surprised at how much having people like u and owe you a favor can help

We have one person that is supposed to do lights and sound for chorus and orchestra concerts. But I took his job cause I came in one day and every thing was screwed up. So now I get paid to sit and do homework while there is a band concert going on. So Boring

We acutely have a stage outside. For the last few years we have had an amphitheater type thing, with rock seats in the ground, exactly like an amphitheater would be, except it is about an 80' viewing angle. At the beginning of this year we got new stage pieces that are quicker and easier to set-up, and our old wooden pieces went outside onto the amphitheater. Once and a while we have a show out there, but it usually is played on by the 8th graders during lunch. However, we have maybe 2 shows there a year. Its a very nice spot, on a nice day...

thats pretty much case and point for what i was saying. now people dont mess with your board as much and you get paid to babysit the band concerts

i think an outside stage could be very cool and you should encourage your school to use it more, even though outside accoustics are not great, they are better than a gym, with all that echo.
