Denham Springs


Since you're entering Top Left and exiting Bottom Left with a Horizontal Timeline, here is the organized flow for Saturday, Feb 7th in Denham Springs.
​
Gym Entrance & Setup Timeline
Location: Denham Springs | Entry: Top Left | Timeline: Horizontal
​
Phase 1: The Foundation
-
Battery Entry: Enter and place drums immediately along the wall or back bleachers to clear the path.
-
The Global Prop: Nick Austin rolls the cart to center stage. Taylor accompanies the cart to manage the global prop.
-
Floor Crew: Battery members begin pulling the mat out across the floor.
-
Audio & Atmosphere: Through the doorway (Audience Right), the Sub/Sound Cart enters. Simultaneously, the first Back Fences with Pop-ups enter.
​
Phase 2: Props & Animals
-
The Deer: Enter before the first group of fences and set up in the Back Left corner.
-
Pop-up Setup: Pop-up fences move to the far right of the floor and begin assembly. Once one pop-up is finished, parents begin setting up the back fences.
-
The Menagerie: Barn enters (facing Right). Willie, Baby Giraffe, and Giraffes enter backwards. All animals stage behind the barn.
​​
Phase 3: Front Ensemble & Perimeter
-
Marimbas: Enter followed by 2 Fences. Fences stay behind the mat to attach circles; once attached, turn fences horizontally to clear the path.
-
Vibraphones: Enter followed by next 2 Fences (repeat circle attachment and horizontal turn).
-
Rack & Electronics: Rack enters. Front Ensemble crosses the timeline, sets up, and plugs into power.
-
Final Fences: Remaining fences enter. If the floor is tight, they move to their final positions on the mat.
​​
Gym Exit & Tear-Down
Exit Path: Bottom Left Door
1. Front Ensemble & Animals
-
Power Down: Front ensemble unplugs immediately and begins exiting through the Bottom Left door.
-
Animal Exit: * Deer: Exit Bottom Left.
-
Willie & Giraffes: Follow the fences on the right side to trail the Pit out.
-
2. Battery & Floor
-
Battery: Exit to leave drums outside the gym, then immediately return to the floor to begin folding the mat.
3. Fences & Props
-
Fences with Circles: * Two move to the left side (if room permits) to wait for exit.
-
The rest move to the right side of the gym and follow the Pit out.
-
-
Back Props & Pop-ups: * As Battery folds the floor, one parent follows with the fences.
-
The second parent grabs the pop-ups.
-
Note: Once you cross the timeline and have space, disassemble the pop-up props and head out.
-
Pro-Tip: Make sure the "Backwards" entry for the giraffes is practiced near the doorway—those long necks can be tricky in tight gym corners!
