LIGHTING: (for indoor venues only or outdoor evening performances)
The show can be presented against either a cyclorama or a blackout and standard house
masking should be used for wings and borders. There should be a dedicated special from FOH--
for each player. Front washes with light bastard amber coupled with a n/c wash. Side and/or
down washes in a blue like Rx80 and a lavender would be appreciated. If a cyc is used, a
standard color load of medium blue, red and amber is fine, and only the floor units are
necessary (should be a low horizon type look, not full height dance style). If a blackout is used,
floor unit washes of red and blue would be appreciated to tone the blackout. Also, a cluster of 3
frenels centered on the floor, fanning out on the cyc or black drop is a great look for this group.

8 Instrument stands for acoustic guitars, electric guitar, banjo, mandolin, etc.
4 9 volt Batteries
