Practical stage notes
Layout
May be adapted to the available stage; please coordinate briefly before setup.
Power
Provide power at both guitar positions, the bass position and where required in the drum/backline area.
Drum vocal
Position the boom stand so Pallieter can play freely and the monitor remains clear.
Soundcheck
Patch, microphone selection and monitor balance will be agreed with the sound engineer.
Thank you for the technical support and cooperation. With timely coordination, setup stays simple and the show runs smoothly.
