Staging Requirements
Stage area size:
Carver Creek is a family band with 5+ members and as such, we require a stage area at least 12’ wide by 8’ deep to accommodate our full show. Smaller stages will result in a sub-par performance.
Venue Noise:
Carver Creek prefers to use a group microphone system, but this only works in quiet settings with minimal background noise/conversation. For louder venues we can use a more standard microphone system.
House/Venue Available equipment/services:
We are very comfortable bringing and using our own sound equipment, from mics to speakers, however we certainly can work with a resident sound engineer and/or use the house speakers, especially for larger venues and churches where our speakers would be inadequate or awkward to position.
We cannot provide stage lighting.
Set-up, performance, and take-down procedure:
For events where we are providing sound, we usually arrive 1 hour before show time to set up the stage and 20 minutes afterward to pack up the equipment. We will need a minimum of 30 minutes access to the stage before the show for setup.
For venues providing their own sound and with a dedicated audio engineer, we can work with whatever setup schedule the venue uses (10 minutes between acts at minimum) We can provide a stage setup diagram in advance of our show to make stage setup easier.
