I thought it would be cool to throw together this little video of me calling a show my students recently put on. When you're working with students and parent volunteers, you have to accommodate for changes, obviously. Also, I had pretty much the same crew every time so I tried to hone in on what would work for them and the terms they were used to. In the end, we came to a solid system that made a complicated moment rather streamlined.
Every gun shot and light cue was a separate cue and every light cue had an invisible auto-follow so the mover could get in place. The barricade shifts were done by hand, not by a track or mechanics. Also, kids are kids and things change from day to day. Marks are missed and lines are dropped, so this allowed for on the spot changes if the need arose. (Which, thankfully, it didn't... because my students are rockstars.)
