Sound Reinforcement for Flora Band

7th December 2006 at 20:00 | 147 Views | COMMENT

Flora band (from Moscow) performed at a private VVIP function. My job was to coordinate their sound requirements and make sure everything was as per what they requested. We were requested to be on available on site but, they had their engineers with them. Their engineer told me that Flora Band is one of the top commercial bands in Russia. Certainly they were great musicians, played really tight and right.

Here’s something that I learnt: “Ras Va Three…” hope I got the spelling right. I heard this a lot during their sound check I was told that it is “One, Two, Three” in Russian.

Input List for Sound Reinforcement

1st December 2006 at 17:08 | 670 Views | 4 COMMENTS

I have posted this Microsoft Excel workbook (.xls) in the interest of enhancing communication between the artists/bands and the sound team. This will help in the communication of requirements in a standardized manner.

Please download Input List.xls below from the download link. Then fill in the cells shaded in Yellow. This is the minimum requirement that needs to be communicated to the sound team. In addition, indicating the number of point sockets required on stage will also help the electrician or the sound team to cater for them.

Please let me know your thoughts by commenting here on how to this could be improved further.
