Re: Sound Provider Refusing Band Engineer?
Alan,
At this point, I don't know if they have hired in a rig for this gig.
It's completely possible the venue wasn't aware a band had been hired until I showed up.
Right now, I do not know what to expect. My rig is in the trailer, so I'll take it. If I don't unload it, that's fine.
If the band doesn't play, it won't be because I showed up unprepared.

To anyone:
I did not mean to turn this thread into an anti union/pro union discussion. I was replying to: "this doesn't happen outside JV
People throw up all kinds of obstacles. Most are are B.S., but my point is, They DO still happen, outside the JV.
This is not the first time this band was not allowed to use it's sound guy. Other reasons have been used in the past, not union
I used this most recent situation as an example to refute: "this doesn't happen outside JV", because it's not a JV room, not because it's a union room.
(I'm assuming a room that is over 70,000 sq ft, in a facility that is over 1 million sq ft, is considered outside JV)
