[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 123131, member: 52"] Re: Festival contracts and rain dates Unfortunately, the promoters and people attending small/mid-sized festivals seldom care much about sound quality. The local bar here puts on a few outdoor festivals a year, they used to hire my "real company", now they just use an opening band that has two different pairs of JBL 15/HF horn cabinets and some ancient "subs" that seem good at producing 65 to 80 Hz. The sound ranges from mediocre to plain bad, but attendance seems about the same (always weather dependent), so they have made a cost-effective decision. Worked at the bar's outdoor facility late last summer for an outside promoter, got many compliments on the sound quality, but the bar still continues to use the opening band system for their festivals. Although I built a smaller system to "compete" for smaller festivals, it just makes no sense to bring it out in the dirt to compete with "My business partner's cousin said he can do the whole weekend for $500".
