Electrical Circuits
We require two separate 20 amp, 120V grounded A/C circuits on individual breakers. They must
be placed on or near the stage. Additionally, these circuits must be dedicated and not tied to
stage dimmers, house lighting, etc.
Sound
The sound technician will use an area 8 feet wide by 5 feet deep in the middle of the auditorium
(in full view of the stage). The Band requires a closed house sound check two hours prior to
performance
Audio Snake
The Band’s audio snake will run from the stage to the console mixing area through the house
seating area. For the safety of our audience members, every effort will be made to keep the snake
taped to the floor and, if possible, out of sight.
House Sound System
At the discretion of the Band’s audio engineer, if a house sound system exists, it may be preferable
to use it to augment the audio equipment the Band carries. The Band’s audio engineer may contact
the house audio engineer in advance of the performance date to discuss requirements/availability.
Lighting Requirements
Overhead white light should be suitable to read music and make all Band members visible to the
audience.
