-There is limited space for flight case storage in corridors. It is suggested they are reloaded into vehicles or put in dressing rooms. However, for Pure Dance we found putting them on the upstage choir riser worked well.

 ===== Stage =====
-The stage is trapezium shaped, no rake, level to the foyer floor and is a sprung oak floor & usually covered in a black vinyl Harlequin dance floor. There is a two-step choir riser upstage, for Pure Dance 2023 this was not removed as it was behind the star cloth being used, and would make for a slower set-up. Dimensions are attached here: FIXME. Thornden Hall’s technicians have disclosed that their provided floor and room plans were not accurate to the space and some measurements were found to be a 0.5m off when verified in person. Dimensions as follows have been verified:

-Importantly, they are a 4 channel fixture Dim/Mode-R-G-B. In other words, the 1st address of the fixture will control intensity until you go to high where it'll strobe! It's worth either parking, creating a dimmer curve, or setting the fixture profiles dimmer attribute; to max at 189. At 190 or above they'll go into Strobe mode and Sound to Light. RBG channels are 0-255 as normal.
