I dont have 2008, only 2005 since thats whats in effect where I am.

In 2008, I seem to remember something about 520.53(P) changing to replace 'qualified individual' with a requirement for a licensed electrican, or something along those lines?

Basically my question, is who can make a connection to a disconnect switch on a stage?
 
I don't know that the '08 Change (underlined) will help you with your problem.
Qualified Person. One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
FPN: Refer to NFPA 70E?-2004, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, for electrical safety training requirements.
