-Before you apply for the role read the tech rider in the [[https://stagesoc.org.uk/gallery|filestore]] and decide if you want to team up with anyone else before hand (i.e. co-LD). Then go to the show page in the [[https://stagesoc.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=21|forum]] and write a short post explaining why you want the role. If you plan on co-LDing you both need to apply but one of you can just say you agree with the other (TDs may appoint more than one LD even if no-one has applied to co-LD as it is a role that is often easier split between two or three people).+Before you apply for the role read the tech rider in the [[https://stagesoc.org.uk/gallery|filestore]] and decide if you want to team up with anyone else before hand (i.e. co-LD).

-Having created a rig plan it is important to make sure you don't lose it, you may wish to send it to the group chat for the relevant show. Another thing to bear in mind is that you are likely to want multiple //**paper**// copies of the rig plan for use during the [[wiki:glossary:general_terms#get-in|get-in]]. You might want to use software such as [[http://lx.claudeheintzdesign.com/lxfree_about.html|LXFree]] to create a digital copy you can then print or you may prefer to hand draw multiple copies.+Having created a rig plan it is important to make sure you don't lose it, you may wish to send it to the group chat for the relevant show.

 Find out who the TD/LD(s) are of the previous show and ask them about what lights they have in the rig. If the rigs share common lights it may be sensible to leave them in the rig, saving both crews time. Whilst doing this though you may want to redo cabling, especially if the incoming rig has a lot of lights. Find out who the TD/LD(s) are of the previous show and ask them about what lights they have in the rig.
