[QUOTE="Martin Primus, post: 97644, member: 2937"] Re: What is your competition like? I wish there was more competition from mid to small providers in this area. Other than the big dog, most of the little guys have MI gear at best, most of which has been beat to death over the last 25 years. Looks like hell, sounds ok, but there's a severe shortage of good, modern gear that can even be hired/rented on a given weekend. Almost every band around here with any kind of busy schedule just buys a rig and hires a tech (why I work freelance when I'm not playing) to run their rig. The bands have nicer or at least equivalent gear than smallish operators because this situation has persisted for quite. It feels like the right person could make an investment to serve middle market (small festival, corporate, street dance, etc.) and be VERY busy if they wanted. Pricing would be a challenge, but there is a distinct lack of quality in the events I've been to as a spectator. Now where's that money tree..... [/QUOTE]
