risers
Choir platform tiers
Risers are the vertical parts of stairs—the boards connecting one step to the next.
In clothing, risers refers to platform shoes or insoles that add height.
Early risers are people who wake up early: She's always been an early riser.
The word also names those who rise in other contexts: The risers in the audience gave a standing ovation.
