Notes about Friends School shows:

  1. Sometimes there's an after-show party/jam. In that case, we need two extra volunteers who take care of party food, setup, and all cleanup afterwards.
  2. For a stage, we use the low tables that are there and cover them with sheets of plywood.
  3. FS has 200 chairs. We need to ask where the extras are.
  4. 220 tickets is a sellout.
  5. Parking is a little complicated so get our early and have it thought through. Ok to park on the grass.
