This is a fixed set of tasks that need to be done every week, so it’s arranged as a checklist.
Turn on stage lights. The switches are on the wall to the left of the desk in the sound booth. Turn on all of the toggle switches. Turn on all of the buttons that have a light on them.
(todo - add a picture of all of the switches with highlights around the ones to turn on)
(Sunday only) Lower the screen, if it’s not already lowered. The control switch is just to the right and up from the light switches. You’ll need to stop lowering the screen just before it touches the decorations on the back wall.
Turn on the computer. Normally, it’s left on and you can just wiggle the mouse or press a key on the keyboard. If it doesn’t respond, press the power button, which is located on the back bottom left corner of the monitor.
(todo - add a picture of the computer with an arrow pointing to where the power button is, and a pic of the power button)
Turn on the auxiliary monitors. One is mounted on the wall. The other is to the right of the computer.
(Sunday only) Turn on the video switcher. Make sure that the computer is selected.
(todo - add a picture of the switcher with the right lights turned on)
(Sunday only) Turn on the nursery camera. You’ll need to turn the dial from “Off” to camera and open the preview panel. If there is no video, open the shutter.
Turn on the sound board. The switch is on the back left side, near the power cord.
(todo - add a picture or two showing this)
After the sound board is turned on, turn on the microphone receivers on the ledge behind the board.

*After the sound board is turned on, turn on the equipment in the rack. Start at the top and work down. The switches you’ll turn on are: power strip (microphones), power strip (speakers), amplifier (house), amplifier (subwoofers), amplifier (booth speakers).

Turn on audio stage monitor. There are two black speakers on the floor. They have toggle switches on the back. A blue light will turn on.
(todo - picture of floor monitors)
Turn on video stage monitor. This is a TV hanging from the back wall. The remote is in the closet behind the stage.
(Sunday only) Turn on projector. The remote is also in the closet behind the stage. It’s best to do this after turning on the computer and video switcher. If not, it may eventually become idle because it can’t find an active input.
There’s a lot of other equipment on the stage. The worship team manages it.
This is mostly the reverse of the turn on steps. The one addition is that you’ll need to ensure that microphones are all put away.
Put away all wireless microphones. There are four handheld microphones and two headsets with body packs.
(todo - add a picture of the microphones in the cabinet)
