1.1.1. Before every show has happened when you first arrive and then when you leave you need to do a pre-show checklist this is a prop list of every song prop you have in the show. Making sure it is in the correct place and that it is there for the show. Making sure that at the end of every show everything is placed back in the correct place. The point of this list is to make sure all props are there and are not missing so in the morning ready for a show you are not running around trying to find everything.
