Youth 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.
