			More opaque is good for tarps, a thin white tarp makesnit hard to see screens.

			Fly for outer TVs and shade structure for stage.
			The AV equipment should probably be used

			It is important to have the stage at the top or bottom of the slope. it makes it easier to make the stage.

			4 entrance/exits -- it appeared to work.

			the top 5pt yellow star is easy, after the black pentagon, lifting up the side you are working on become important. unbolt one of the bolts that was on the ground. have 3 links together to make a triangle with a new base and two verticals. don't leave a single pole buried into the ground

	As they dome gets heavier, we have to prop up a side of the dome to be able to attach the next layer.		As they dome gets heavier, we have to prop up a side of the dome to be able to attach the next layer.

			It is difficult to run the impact driver on the ground. connect one link ahead. two ahead may be ok if there are extra workers, but it gets hard to move. Connecting one ahead allows the nut holder to drag both poles and verify gemotery.

			The matts over the entrance beams can do a lot to hold things down. use stakes in a way that does not trip people.

			the orange twist screws can sometimes help, they often screw into the ground near the middle of the member, and use ratchet straps to connect to the intersection.

			Often times these don't hold, try another place.

			If there is a slope, the stage should be at the base of the slope, however sun angles may also be a factor.

	It is easier to connect pieces at waste height. so pattern layer will loosly get bolt on a step ahead of the snuggers while there is slack, and then the lifters can align and pull things together at waste height, then weight can also go on the new member right away allowing easier lifting.

			Test that the poles swing to the correct location before unscrewing the bolt on the existing layer. this is to avoid moving/adjusting/stretching the dome while it is unbolted.

			members can have a lot of tension or compression and may move unexpectedly when the bolt is undone. --So avoid yanking and extra pulling while a section is unbolted.

	We order the members so that when we disconnect things the lower ones can come off first.		We order the members so that when we disconnect things the lower ones can come off first.
