Choir Cues

HOW TO READ THIS — one thing per box
D2
The CALL. Kay calls cue numbers, never times. Find your boxes and listen for them.
HEADER
Where am I? Every black header says: after which song → setting which song.
SIDES ARE ALWAYS AS THE AUDIENCE SEES THEM — theatre jargon: “STAGE RIGHT” = our LEFT · “STAGE LEFT” = our RIGHT · TAB 1 downstage · TAB 2 mid · TAB 3 upstage
ENTER from the LEFT wing — the piano + violin side (jargon: stage right)
ENTER from the RIGHT wing — Kay’s side (jargon: stage left)
EXIT into the LEFT wing
EXIT into the RIGHT wing
THE SCRIM
SCRIM IN (full) — the hanging mics fly UP out of its way
SCRIM OUT — the hanging mics come back DOWN. One AX cue does both.
SCRIM ⅓ — happens ONCE all night, mid-Moonlight. Nowhere else.
SCREENS + LIGHTS
FILM or CARD — always plays ON the scrim, and the sound is inside the film. No separate voice-over.
CYC TITLES — song titles on the back wall; they fade out after each song's intro.
SNAP — an instant light cut, no fade.
PEOPLE
STAND and SIT are called cues — nobody stands or sits on their own.
Names are colour-coded: YOUTH CHOIR ORCH PROD.
Walkers go ROUND the orchestra — down the side lanes, never through the players.
Maps are TO SCALE — one square = 1 metre; the stage is 14 m × 10 m.

THE CHOIR STANDS FOR EVERY ITEM IT SINGS — and every SIT is a called cue. STAND: D3 (the dramatic open — How Great Is Our God) · H5 (O God Beyond All Praising, with everyone) · I6 (Hallelu Yah) · L2 (Benedictus, in the black) · O2 (All That Hath, behind the scrim) · Q3 (the finale + reprise). SIT: E2 (after How Great Is Our God) · I4 (before MATT's reveal) · J6 (giving + interval) · M2 (after Benedictus) · P7 (the message). Announce films and the greeting stand happen ONLY on a conductor's FIRST appearance — NATALIA (F) · JONAH (H) · MATT (I) · JOSH (his film runs after the message, before Boswell); repeats are unannounced. The 8 sing Were You There at the front with the scrim IN behind them; the Clare line sings A Clare Benediction at the front with the scrim OUT.
