I like to patch an experienced person with a tech-in-training or someone who works with the HS Youth team. The other route we sometimes take is to match someone with technical experience but not necessarily ears with someone with ears but who lacks the tech experience. So we end up with an audio engineer and a sound tech. (It's sometimes hard to find a person who can do both, and this is helpful for techs when they get older and the ears aren't what they used to be but the wisdom and experience is still there.)

I run audio typically Sunday mornings as well as Sunday evening. The other volunteer runs audio Wednesdays. Showing up early is a good habit I have. When I'm not in the hot seat, I'm within 15 feet of the audio loft ready to assist in any way I can when things out of the norm happen. Good topic. Can say the same here.

We have our team leader that is in charge of overseeing everything, and then a person that is at each position (video, lights, audio). What will commonly happen in the early morning is our leader will show up early and will have systems powered up, (lights, computer, audio), then each of the people at their positions will show up and prepare the rest of the things needed for the morning. If one person is gone, sick, or has a problem, our team leader is able to jump in there and help. This has been a great setup for our smaller volunteer staff.
