(TABLES) How many people will I be able to fit around my table? You should first determine if the tables will be used for children or adults primarily. Shoulder-to-shoulder widths and the space between each person will differ dependent upon their age. The chart below will be a good start in determining the capacity of each size table. From this, you should then know more correctly just how many tables you'll need to purchase. ____________________________________________________________________________________
(CHAIRS) What's the proper seat height for my students? Manufacturers generally produce chairs in 4 or 5 seat heights. You'll see them expressed as 10"h, 12"h, 14"h, 16"h, and 18"h, or variants thereof. These heights are measured from the floor to the top of the front of the seat. This is helpful to know since you may already have chairs in use and wish to match them. If you're not matching, then the following chart will help.
This chart was developed by manufacturers as a suggested guide. As all students differ in build, the chart will not be precise under all conditions. ____________________________________________________________________________________ (Stages and Risers)
How do I choose the right standing risers for the chorus? Determining the best configuration of risers is often a difficult and confusing task. You need to consider many variables in order to be able to select the riser set-up that works best. You should first get the following information: - What are the dimensions of the area in which the risers will be staged? This will help you to know the limitations of space, side-to-side and front-to-back of the riser set-up.
- What are the grade levels of the students using the risers? You should treat high school students as adults.
- Will people be standing shoulder to shoulder, or will shoulders overlap?
