Stage requirements:

• WE DO NOT REQUIRE A STAGE: Many clients have the band play ‘on the floor’. That’s great for us and can save you money! The band will bring our own elevated stage boxes which act like mini-stages for each performer:

• SURFACE AREA must be a flat, dry, smooth level surface to set up on, such as a dance floor, asphalt parking lot, wood covered deck, a traditional concert stage (covered in wood or carpet), a flat level concrete driveway, patio covered with pavers, etc. We cannot set up on: bare grass, gravel, dirt, uneven pavement, or any surface that is not flat, dry and level.

• IF YOU ARE PROVIDING A STAGE: Any stage must be at least 16’ wide x 16’ deep. It’s possible we can squeeze on a 16’ wide x 12’ deep stage but will compromise our show by not allowing as many light fixtures and will restrict our choreography. Any stage smaller than that is not worth having, or will be used as a drum riser and the rest of the band will set up in front of it. The height of the stage can be 6” to 2 feet. Lower height for smaller audiences and venues, taller stages for larger venues. Most weddings stages are 12”-18” tall. Most festival stages are 2’ - 3’ tall. Any stage that you provide should be oriented to be wider than deeper. The band will not bring it’s own stage; do not own any stage equipment.

ELECTRICITY: We need four (4) dedicated twenty-amp circuits within 50 feet of stage. We will bring our own heavy gauge extension cords to run to your outlets as long as they are within 50 feet. Most houses or modern commercial buildings have enough electricity to meet this requirement. An old building with 80 year old knob-and-tube wiring or an old barn or an extension cord run 300 yards into a cornfield probably does won’t work. If you are not sure, please consult with your Band Leader. Sometimes clients will rent a commercial diesel generator for remote locations

OVERHEAD RAIN PROTECTION FOR OUTDOOR LOCATIONS: If you are having the band perform outdoors, we strongly advise that you provide some overhead protection.

Examples: overhead awning; temporary stage roof (usually made of tarp material provided by your stage company, pitched to drain water), a tent over the entire band, having the band perform on a covered porch, an garage with wide open doors, etc. It is very risky to place the band in a location with no overhead protection.

If you put us in a location with insufficient wet protection, then if we get wet, we pack up and go home. No exceptions. We will still enforce full payment per the contract.

The band will only set up once. The band will not set up twice. It is advisable that you plan for an alternate location indoors or under cover to direct the band to set up upon arrival in the event of a bad weather forecast.
