Sound problems

Normal day at college, lotsa work. Oh, and then I sat it on the rehearsal for the show, since I'm doing sound, I should be there for at least some of it.
And I found out some great news.
I will get to see the sound deck for the first time, TWO DAYS before the show. I've never used one before, I'll have two days to learn, and to practise my cues, as I have to control ALL the radio mikes, plus other 'ambient' ones. Therefore, the whole cast relys on me to get this right, and not leave on their mikes while changing. Oh, and this is the first show from us students that the college principal is coming to see, so no pressure...
One last thing, I have no idea how many channels are on the board, so I may have to double up mikes, but I won't know until two days before, so I'll have to work quickly, and label things very very well...
