How To Identify The Technical Crew
Almost always wearing full black with "Crew" printed on the back/front of their shirts. Most probably wearing headsets if not they will have "walkies"(2 way radio). They will either be sitting in the front of house position which includes the sound, lighting, Video, and sometimes the Camera Operator position or they can be located backstage- unless they are setting up, the lights, mics, speakers, and backline gear. They can be found on stage doing a set change during the performance in which case it is not a good time to talk to them as equipment and cues occur rather quickly. Otherwise you just may find us loading the semi trucks or buses between artist performances of a travelling (touring production).

Famous quotes containing the words identify, technical and/or crew:
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
—John Fiske (b. 1939)
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
““10 April 1800—
Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
their moaning is a prayer for death,
ours and their own.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
