MAIN STAGE FRONT STAGE ASSISTANT 
When given someone that came over the wall:
o Make sure their footing is solid before walking them out.
o Don’t rush them especially if they are weak in the knees.
o Determine if they might need medical attention. Look into their eyes. Ask them if they’re OK. If you feel they're not, bring them to EMS people on right side.
o They can’t stay backstage and must be walked out the Front Gate.
When walking people out of backstage:
o Hold on to them! Walk them to the right out the Front Gate.
o Stay with people you’ve been given until they are out the gate. Don’t just send them in that direction.
o Have your flashlight ready to help people see clear path out.
Stand between platforms against wall or against stage facing the crowd when nothing is happening. Do not get in the way of SRT working platforms. When someone is being pulled over the wall back up towards the stage so you don’t get kicked or stepped on. Stay spread out to insure all platforms are covered when one of you is needed. Some platforms will be busier than others. Help wherever necessary. Don’t attempt to give water, either cups or bottles, to crowd. You can’t get it to everybody. Water is for our crew and hurting people that have come over the wall.
