Hi guys, I recently did a church show with 5 bands. I got to use my new truss for the first time.
Downstage uprights with truss warmers. (yeah, I should of spent a little more time cleaning up my cables)
Uplights:
Super simple setup that looked really really nice even before the show started.
Had I had the chance to do the show over, I would of used 16 pars on the back truss instead of the trackpots. I liked the look of piles of par cans than the trackspots, there wasn't a lot of fill behind the band. (see pics below)
Gear used
>4 Trackspots
>8 Par 64's (3 on each downstage upright, 2 on the drums)
>1 NSI DDS 6000 dimmer pack
>1 NSI MC7016 controller
>1 DMX operator for control of the trackspots
>6 Uplights placed around the room gelled red, violet, and blue
>1 black back drop (it really added a lot to make a "complete" look instead of looking at a white brick wall behind the band)
>40' of applied triangle "euro-truss"
>2 Work LW-135 lifts
here are a few pics from a show at the same venue two months ago with 16 cans across the back instead of the Trackspots
I appreciate any suggestions, comments, etc.
