Help with settings

I have a shoot tonight and would like some "settings" help.

Shoot will be an old autitorium... Will probably "mediumly" (if that is even a word) lit. I will be shooting from 2 different positions (using) 2 DVX100's. Camera 1 will be mid point in the theater, slightly off to the left, facing stage. Camera 2 will be at and one the stage. This is a religious event, music, preaching etc... Most of the footage will be on stage, although this pastor does enjoy entering the congregation.

This is a first time shoot for this organization and I want to make sure everything looks OK. Any suggestions on settings would be helpful. I don't plan on using 24 - f5 or f6. Most likely f3 or f4 depending on lighting once I arrive. I guess I am mostly concerned with shutter speed, color temp, etc. I know that usually this is an artistic preference, but just wanting some advice.

You guys always come through and I love this forum.
 
Unless you're going for something stylized, I would say that the default settings would probably serve you well here. Once you're there, you may want to adjust Master Pedistal until it looks "right" to you. Other than that, you'll probably be fine.
