  • Each studio/school will have a few minutes to space their piece. The stage manager will keep an eye on time to make sure each group can run their piece with music and lights once. If a group finishes early, we will move right on to the next group. This helps makeup for any extra time that we don’t anticipate is needed for a piece.
