Welcome to the Stagecrew Training and Resources page. Here you will find The Jazz Station Stage Crew Training Guide as well as a series of training videos. These resources serve as the training materials for new Stage Crew volunteers.
New volunteers must read all of the Training Guide and watch all of the Training Videos and digest the information therein. After working your wya through these materials you will be ready to start working shadow shifts in the venue with an experienced Stage Crew volunteer. Once you are to this point reach out to the Venue Manager and Stage Crew Lead for scheduling.
Read this, know this, love this. This document has much of the practical information about our microphones, sound system, and lighting systems, as well as a ton of information about how an average show is run and the real importance of having a proper soundcheck, etc.

These videos systematically walk you through everything from sound to lighting to the schedule of a show, working the lights, house music, sound check process, etc. They are not only informative but they also feature some of the venue's most awesome, experienced, and very OG Stage Crew volunteers. Watch and learn all of these:
(FYI some of these videos are slightly out of date and some personnel have changed, nevertheless the information remains invaluable.)
