Harrison Gig Evaluation

Gig Evaluation

After doing the Harrison Gig I have reflected upon what I accomplished and what I didn't. We got there at 5 to set up. I helped set up the mics and carry some of the instruments on stage. We then waited for the performers to arrive and set up their own instruments. The set up of the instruments and mics was probably the longest process.

Once we had set up everything we began conducting a soundcheck. This involved us setting the levels for each performer and then taking a picture of the mixer so we could remember the levels for each act. This was important as someone who had done the gig a few weeks before explained to me that someone didn't bother with a soundcheck for their performance and the guitar ended up overpowering the set.

The performance went well, we took it in turns standing in the middle of the room testing if it sounded alright and generally there weren't any complaints, we just had to turn certain instruments up every so often. The only problem we had was the fact that the lights turned off half-way through someone's performance. It didn't mean the performer was completely invisible as the coloured lights were still working, it was just a bit dark. This was fixed in 10 minutes.
