Technical
All the equipment we use is dual use & most of it has been sized for larger more complex shows then repurposed for park use. The same set-up is used for our indoor One Mic Stand-up gigs.
We have a philosophy of “no singe point of failure” meaning that if any one piece of equipment fails, we have a drop in replacement (not necessarily as good) that will allow the show to continue.
Some examples:
- Each light stand has two lights. If one fails we have the other and can hot switch over from the tech desk. Typically we run the lights at less than half power so audience members shouldn’t even notice.
- If the mixer fails, we carry a much simpler 4 channel mixer we can plug in to replace it.
- We use two speakers, one will do.
- If a wireless link fails, we have trip hazards (cables) we can plug in as replacements.
