# [Introducing Riser Charts](https://blog.chorusconnection.com/blog/2016/5/13/introducing-riser-charts)

If you're an artistic director, chances are you've spent hours of your life in Excel trying to figure out where to place your singers on the risers every concert. There's a lot of information to consider, from height to voice part, and it's difficult in Excel to ensure your ensemble is going to look and sound balanced.

That's where [Chorus Connection](http://www.chorusconnection.com)'s brand new riser charts feature comes in! Instead of laboring over spreadsheets, the new feature lets you:

- **Drag and drop** singers onto risers (works great on tablets and smartphones, too).
- **Scan by color** (voice part) to make sure the ensemble is balanced correctly.
- Make sure **shorter singers are up front**, taller singers are in the back, and everyone can see the conductor.
- You can even **see pictures** of each singer!

**Watch the video below** to see the new feature in action.
