Does anyone have a good template for mic tracking for a board op not familiar with the show?

I have never created this kind of paperwork, but the ones I have seen seem to be basically the Character-Scene breakdown with the microphone numbers added in.

Is the op replacing someone, or building the show with you through tech? Is the show a tour of some kind?

Straight play or musical?

Is the Op's job mostly to run QLab and unmute mics at the top of scenes, or are they required to mix orchestra and singers for the live performance?

In either case, the best advice I can give is to do whatever is possible to get your board op familiar with the show.

In lieu of a Q sheet, another option is to mark up a script with entrances and exits. Then they can follow the script to see where the cues happen.
