CONCERT VENUE GUIDELINES:
We have certain specifications we need
for places and events where we will be asked to play a
concert. These are not hard-and-fast absolutes, but things we
need so we can do the very best job. They are
- A stage (or other performance area)
large enough to accommodate at least 85 musicians and the
percussion equipment
- A secure area where we can store
instrument cases and other items we don't take into the
performance, such as ladies' purses
- Easy access to move equipment between
the transport vehicles and the performance stage.
- At least 85 chairs for the performers
- Sufficient lighting for the
performers to see their music
- Audience seating for a minimum of 300
attendees
- Venues must either pay us an
honorarium (or find a sponsor to do so) or allow us to
solicit for donations. Amount to be negotiated with the
Board of Directors.
Also, nice-to-have items include
- Music stands for the performers, the
more the better. Up to 85
- Stand lights on the music stands, or
PLENTY of light in the venue. Many of our players are older
and need more light.
- A conductor's podium and music stand
- A Public Address system with
microphones for the narrator, conductor, and any soloists,
and speakers sufficient to carry these individuals to the
audience.
- A meet-the-musicians reception after
the concert
- Proper sound-reflection bandshell
panels behind the band
- Helpers to set up and remove
equipment before and after the concert
