[QUOTE="Blake Ross, post: 34178, member: 745"] Re: half time show portable stage set up in 5 minutes? The impressive amount of knowledge that has been shared here has been very helpful when discussing this show with the organizers. The venue in question has had an unusual amount of rain, and they are rethinking having any wheels on the field at half time at all. The trailer/stage is a soft sided 52' long highboy with a set of quasi-portable steel steps for people access and a forklift for elevating the heavier sound equipment. Power is from a 25kvA generator with one 50 amp power distro (100'x6ga) for the half time show and a second 50 amp power line will be added after half time for the bands lights. Currently the plan is to load up in the parking lot, strap down everything and do a sound check by 1pm (kick off at 6), power down and wait for the organizers to decide where we'll be situated (if they are still undecided). They will either roll out in front of the stands, or pull the stage in behind the stands and 'encourage' the fans to move around back and get closer to the stage. The stage then get's pulled to the post-game beer garden position and the generator is moved as well (There are only stands on one side of the field). (I really don't see them going on the field when you consider the weight of a highboy trailer and the tractor to pull it, but I've been wrong before...) I plan to leave the mixer on the trailer for half time and I'll have my daughter provide FOH information via wireless mic. We'll have lots of time to practice running out the power cable and going through the power up procedure with the band and field staff before game time. There are still a lot of variables to deal with between now and show time, but 'talking it out' in the forum has helped illuminate a lot of details to plan for. Thanks again for all of the valuable input from the sound community. Your willingness to share has helped me in the past few years to improve my skills and to take on new challenges such as this show. [/QUOTE]
