Watched a performance from last year’s FMP:

Liked the rug for aesthetics and practical purposes (no slipping)

Like the basic, nice and simple stage design

Looks a bit cramped? Drums too close together?

 

Consider scaffolding (Performing Arts FMP show)

Should be a clean set up, no mess without hazards

Lights round the scaffolding, set up a new rig?

Plants?

MAMMA MIA - Blue and white lights?

Flowers / plants - set change for last song?

Theme - Industrial? Live Lounge? Festival? Pub? - Majority liked festival theme

Stools for slower, more acoustic numbers?

Thinking realistically - would a sofa work?

Wooden boards decorated (spray paint/graffiti style?) attached to scaffold?

 

Continued after lunch:

Drums like the video from last year, facing inwards

Mamma mia - choir can semi circle infront of drums?

Backline - helix (guitarists will need to create tones), bass amp as it can be DI’d straight out the back of it, amps won’t be mic’ed up for Mamma Mia (Jamie + Holly will go through helix’s)

Amps on risers or scaffolding?

Festival theme - amps stacked on top of each other? Max 3 as a column?

 

Looked at video of performance from Christmas

Discussed: lots of wires, looks messy, need a rug to cover the wire

Alfie - using Roland drum machine

Jay - using ….. DJ deck (projected logo + potential for rehearsal footage to show audience what Jay is doing on his decks) Costume - discuss amongst your bands, do you want a costume change?

More uniformed / coordination for Mamma mia? 2 colours - blue + white?

Flower / something sparkly / headband (something small + cheap) to be worn to look more coordinated for Mamma mia?

 

Blackout after every song? Makes it more seamless? More professional?
