Seating - Though you might think that setting up chairs is pretty easy, it can actually take some time.  Late afternoon of the day before the first evening's events, we set up the 600 or so chairs used in the main auditorium.  The seating arrangement is designed to allow plenty of room for the dancers, give everyone a good view of the screen (for songs and presentations), and provide wide isles for mingling and easy access.

SOOJ provides a diagram of how the chairs are to be set up.  The diagram includes all the dimensions needed to accurately place the rows of chairs (we typically position the chairs on each end of a row then let others fill in the remaining chairs).  SOOJ will provide a 100' measuring tape, chalk, string, duct tape, and anything else you might need to do a neat and orderly job.

• Service Times - afternoon of the day before the first evenings opening session (click for Setup Schedule).  This only takes about 3 hours if you have plenty of help.
• Shift Frequency - only needed for this one time unless chairs need resetting
• Experience - must be able to read and understand a simple seating plan.  Must be able to use a measuring tape.
• Positions Available - Team Leader and 5 helpers.
