Performer checklist
-
DRUMMERS
Warm up off-stage (in the green room) on a quiet drum pad, have drumsticks/stick bag in hand (2 pairs of sticks recommended in case you drop one), earplugs, percussion, and anything else you need ready to go. Look at the drummer’s set up before you and make a mental note of what setup changes need to be made (seat height, cymbal heights/angles, snare height, toms). Make your own checklist.
-
BASSISTS
Warm up off-stage, tune your bass off-stage in advance no more than 5 minutes before, have your guitar, strap, pedalboard, picks, earplugs, and anything else you need ready to go. Make your own checklist.
-
GUITARISTS
Warm up off-stage, tune your guitar off-stage in advance no more than 5 minutes before, have your guitar, strap, pedalboard, capos, picks, earplugs, and anything else you need ready to go. Make your own checklist.
-
PIANISTS
Lakehouse keyboard is provided, ear plugs, etc. If you wish to bring your own, let your teacher know. If so, remember to bring your keyboard, power adapter, and any cables required for your keyboard. Make your own checklist.
-
