PARKING:
Ample secure parking must be provided for two 45' tour buses and two 53' tractor-trailers.
Company's drivers sleep all day, so once trucks and buses are parked, those vehicles will not be
moved. It is imperative coaches be located as close as possible to back stage door. All loading
dock and door areas must be cleared of any blockage prior to load-in.
SHORE POWER:
The two buses will require 30 amps, single-phase power within 75' of the parking area. This
power service must be fused and stable. All wiring must meet all local codes.

lighted stairs with railings, placed at the up-stage rear corners, running off stage left and right.
Stage must be solidly constructed for heavy floor loads. No soft spots or gaps are acceptable.
Stage must be skirted with black fabric on the downstage edge and 8’ up each side. NOTE:
Please do not skirt the stage until the completion of load in, as we require unrestricted access to
the space beneath the stage for case storage. No additional wings are necessary. Please note, the
first 3 rows of seats on the floor should be continental and begin 6' from the down stage edge
unless prohibited by local regulations.
LOAD IN AND SETUP:
At load in please provide the artist representative the most recent copy of the Sold Map and
Ticket Audit. We would also like to confirm the exact distance from the down stage edge of the
stage to the last seat in the center section on the floor so that we can set the mix in an appropriate
location. All Staging, Soft Goods (If supplied by venue) and Temporary Floor Seating should be
in place prior to artists production load in, with the exception of the space immediately down
stage (see note below).
Note: Please leave 70 ft. of open floor space directly in front of the stage to allow for truss
assembly, screen construction, and rigging. After rigging is completed and the downstage truss
and screen are flown, you may set chairs (approximately 2:00 PM).

2 - 4’ wide by 4’ deep by 4’ high decks. A “bicycle rack” type barricade must surround the mix
