That's another reason I like to sing first... so I can sound check. As a singer I HATE being the guy who the KJ is going to system adjust for.
I know the all the lyrics of my first song by heart, so I can walk the room, listen to what's going on and go back and set music and mic levels. I use all three of my mics during my song to make sure the levels are correct, which is something my singer can't do. I usually don't have a full boat of singers to start off anyway.
I don't start the rotation until I have four singers plus me (I play regular music until then... usually takes about 15 to 20 min). By the time it gets to the fourth singer it usually gets to eight, and by the second rotation I up to 14 or 15. It can go up or down from there.
