Boys' Night Out Stage Requirements

Mark Wright is our Stage Manager. Mark will be happy to work with you and the staff at the performance venue to ensure a smooth and timely setup, with a minimum of interference with any other activities. Mark can be reached by e-mail at and by phone at (865) 470-9567 or (865) 705-5288. Please feel free to contact Mark directly if you have any questions about the band's setup or staging.

For reference, here are our basic stage requirements:

Equipment: We generally provide our own sound reinforcement equipment and lights. If sound and lights are to be provided by the performance venue, or if we will be sharing the stage with other performers and their equipment, we can work with that, but we'll need to know in advance so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Stage Area: We require a minimum of 24 ft. wide by 16 ft. deep, and we must have this minimum stage size in order to accommodate our sound system, our band members, and their equipment. Please check with the performance venue to ensure that sufficient stage area is available. If it is not, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can make alternate arrangements. We prefer a raised stage (stage risers), if available.

Electrical: We require three separate 20 Amp circuits. Please check with the performance venue to ensure that sufficient electrical power is available.
Setup Time: We require approximately four hours to set up the band. If less than four hours is available, please let us know, as we may need to make arrangements for extra personnel in the setup crew.
Stage Access: As we have over 1500 pounds of equipment which must be carried onto the stage, we very much prefer a short-distance, easy-access route from the stage to a parking area or loading dock. If equipment must be carried up more than one flight of stairs, and no elevator is available, please let us know in advance, as we may need to make arrangements for extra personnel to haul the equipment.
Sound Crew: The Sound Technician and his crew will require a table approximately 6 feet wide, and three chairs, to be placed somewhere out in the room in front of the band. Exact position to be determined at setup time.
