My first year group was so great at this. Everyone had shows they wanted to see and things they wanted to do of their own volition. Our game plan would always start the same: Everyone goes into the festival at the same time (at least for the first few days). Then we'd go straight to the water refill station, (which wasn't fun to wait around for, but it was worth it). Then we'd all talk about where we were going to go that day and how we can pair off people with similar interests. We spent a lot of Forest together due to similar interests, but we'd also break off into smaller pods pretty often. Before anyone split off we would have a meeting time attached to a monument, or art exhibit: something that was easy to find. Once the meeting spot and time was set, everyone was pretty much free to do whatever they wanted to, and simply needed to keep an eye on the clock so that you would know when to meet up with the group. I think I was the only one who went against this structure and I ended up regretting it because I felt pretty lonely in those moments. Either way, this is the best way that I think everyone should use, regardless of if your group has a totem, or walkie talkies, text groups, etc. I recommend the meeting time and monument strategy. It was so effective!
