Jennifer Levey: guard and observation are both inappropriate in Asker's context

"A covered FOH (Front of House) booth is an indispensable addition to any music event. The FOH mixing booth can be constructed closer to the ground, or can be elevated to a height that makes it possible for the audience to see through to the other side from beneath the platform. Another option available is to construct a multi-level FOH tower."

This UK government site has details on sound level measurement at the FOH and showing where the FOH is situated relative to the stage.
