Sound and Light / Productions / Concerts Support (SALT)?

[bjohnny42]

We are just having a rethink about how we provision Music Studio / Sound and Light / Production Support. (Sound and Light Team SALT)

 

Currently we have generalist internal staff and a small group of pupils covering after school events, school productions and concerts with help from other teaching and support staff who are interested. It is a couple of productions for a few days each, and a couple of music concerts a few days each with weekend practices before, and any other events that require some sound and light involvement eg Dance Show's, Outside bookings, fashion shows etc.

 

We are contemplating different structures to look after this sort of thing. We might carry on as we are, or one might be a role of "SALT / Music Tech". Does anyone have any examples of job descriptions / rates of pay etc? Or do you "hire in" support when it comes to those times?

 

As ever there are many ways to skin a cat and this is another one of those, or if anyone is aware of a "Music Tech in education forum" similar to this please point me at it.

 

How do you do it?
