Stage Set-up
Physical Requirements
The stage area required to
set up all instruments, sound equipment and lighting is approximately 12
feet deep by 20 feet long. Adequate electrical service is necessary
(minimum of (2) 20-amp circuits) within 50 feet of the stage. Also, please consider ease of access
to the stage area for set-up and take-down.
For indoor events, room size can be
very important. A good venue size is one with a ceiling height
of at least 10-12 feet and a total open area of at least 5000 sq. feet (e.g.
50 x 100).
Many venues schedule multiple events
for the same date, with minimum times allocated for turn-around. Because of
our equipment set-up, sound checks and testing, a minimum set-up time of
three hours is preferred prior to your event. This means that the sound
technician and other set-up people should have uninterrupted access to the
stage area for at least that amount of time, more if possible.
