Dancing Queen - the Music of ABBA
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Dancing Queen - The Music of ABBA GENERAL: In our experience we have for the most part found the house techs/sound companies as provided by host orchestras to be highly competent professionals who know and understand the needs of their orchestra and their performance venue. As such we are comfortable in trusting their recommendation and expertise. Conceptually all Jeans ‘n Classics productions are designed to feature the sound of the orchestra and as such the band and the orchestra should be equally sharing the musical picture as opposed to the orchestra being mixed into the back ground. The following are simply guidelines. MICS - BAND & SINGERS: Lead Vocalist (s) - 4 lead vocal mics required (cordless) - numbered, in the wings, for entries and exits please. Vocalists will go back and forth from a front stage lead vocal station to a BGs vocal station; in order to avoid mic stand movement, we will need: - 2 mic stands at the lead station and - 3 mic stands at the BGs station please Band - 1 vocal mic required at keyboard MICS - ORCHESTRA: Strings - Contact mics on all strings is ideal - If impossible separate mics per player or minimally 1 mic per desk Winds - 1 mic per wind Brass - 1 mic per brass instrument Percussion - Individual mics on the congas/bongos area - Ambient mics on the "toys" for wind chime, tambourine etc, where the player can approach the mic - Individual mics on the vibes/marimbas area - Timpani and bass drums may or may not need ambient mics depending on the venue BAND INSTRUMENTS: Electric Bass - Bass player will need DI line, or in some cases may bring his own ears / mixer and therefore will need a line to the mixer - Bass guitar to be provided: - 4- String Fender Precision (American made preferred) with strap Guitars - guitarists will bring processing equipment for electric guitar - 1 DI line will be required - A second DI line will be required for one acoustic guitar - 3 guitar stands to be provided p.1 Keyboard/Piano - Grand piano, or if not available then any of the following (in pref.
