More Advice to those who wish to one day work in the stage tech profession
Invest in.
a decent pair of work shoes: steel toed, work boot, or really decent sneaker. Just something that won’t get a hole in them within a week.
A Multi-tool. seriously the most asked for item during a work shift.
A c-wrench. never be without your c-wrench. SERIOUSLY attach that shit to your body.
A pair of pants with the maximum number of pockets. (I wear a pair of tactical black pants, it has 8 pockets and I use every single one. it’s magical.)
Good luck on your stage tech endeavors.
