Re: half time show portable stage set up in 5 minutes?
For a halftime show, yes, he means a 5 minute setup. Having things pre-set on the trailer and secured down can work quite well.
A figure 8 wrapped snake can easily pull out while being pre-patched to your board. Practice it a few times. After the show, you have to be able to wrap up quickly. For this, it can get a bit messy to bunch the snake on the trailer, but then you've got the rest of the game to get things set back up for the after show. If you have to unpatch the board, no big deal.
But really, for a halftime show, you'd probably be best just mixing on stage and dealing with it. Less chance of anything going wrong.
