Sound and Microphone Planning for School Events
Practical guidance for ceremonies, assemblies, performances, dances, awards, and campus programs.
Match the system to the program
A graduation, dance, assembly, performance, and awards program each place different demands on sound. List speakers, music, performers, videos, announcements, and audience participation.
Confirm school contacts
Identify the administrator or event lead, facilities contact, program caller, and person responsible for media or student performers.
Plan microphones carefully
Document lectern speakers, moving presenters, performers, student readers, audience questions, and backup microphone needs. Include appropriate supervision and handoff plans.
Review campus access
Confirm arrival procedures, parking, loading, building access, power, room availability, school schedules, and the approved setup window.
Schedule checks
Allow time to test microphones, music, videos, performances, announcements, and any transitions before students or guests enter.
