SC - Feast entertainment

[Linda Peterson]

Size of the group may have an effect on this. At a feast of 3-4 hundred,
even when people are trying to be quiet, the performer (stationed by the
head table) is often completely inaudible in the back of the room. Which
brings up a pet peeve of mine! Given a rectangular room, as most of our
halls around here are, why do we put the head table across one of the
narrower walls? A head table place in the center along one of the long
walls would allow for much better visual and auditory arrangement of the
event.
