> And looking back at what I did as a high school SM compared to what I do as a college SM, I find it amazing that my high school pulled plays off. I can't think of anyone whose duties included some stuff that I now consider crucial (like recording blocking. . .). I think the director did some of that, but not a lot.

Yeah. I did some summer theatre, and was amazed that, with the director's organizational skills (we had to be off-book before she would *start* the blocking, she didn't pick an SM until a week before we went up, etc...) we pulled it off at all.
