Band Manifest

Band Load-In
In General:
Load-in for bands, in general will be 8 PM on date of performance. Special Load-ins can be arranged in advance.
Sound:
The sound Technician arrives at 8 PM also. Fee is generally $100.00, however with more than 3 bands the fee rises to $125.00.
Most shows on week-ends are scheduled to start at 10 pm...email your contacts accordingly.
Most Shows during the week begin at 9 pm, again, email or call your contacts and fan base accordingly. In absence of prior agreement with management, these are the times we expect. Employees are scheduled for these start times, so unprepared-for variances cost us preparation or money and will effect the show accordingly. Most employee schedules are posted 2-3 weeks in advance, so please plan accordingly. No one likes last minute changes at their job.
