Paperwork: Clarity Pays Off For This "Necessary Evil"

Stage Plot Before Chris Kathman started handling tour and production management for bands, he worked in various venues as a sound guy and got really tired of crews coming in, looking at the stage plot and input list he had for them, and saying, "Oh, the agent sent you the wrong one!"

So, in other words, they didnšt have five minutes in the last month to call up and make sure that he had the right one. He used to patch the stage before they got there, hoping to get a head start on the soundcheck, but got out of the habit of doing that since it so often needed to be re-done.

It made Chris want to be the person walking into a venue, who the local guy skeptically asks, "Is this the right input list?" But more importantly, it stressed the importance of that most boring of things: paperwork. Chris shares what he's learned and offers helpful hints for getting it right.
