ABSTRACT
Yes, the SM can be filled with the excitement and celebration and maybe even have some nervousness and expectations of his or her own, but by the fifteen-minute over the backstage PA system, the SM reminds not only him-or herself but everyone else to settle in. Then while giving the five-minute call, the SM might sincerely offer best wishes, thanks, and complement all on the work they have done starting at rehearsals and up to this moment. Corny as this may sound, it is a moment of endearment and is a catalyst in getting everyone focused and concentrated.
