SOUND CHECK IN THE GREAT HALL
+ CONTACTING DRAX PROJECCT (FAIL)
PROBLEMATIC:
-The overall opinion of the Great Hall is that no matter where we did sound checks the music was echoing and not receiving a great sound.
-Even with over 50 Stalls and decorations in the Great Hall it still leave it 2/3 empty due to the ceiling allowing it to echo .
-We would prefer to be place under on of the Cave of the Great Hall on the Right Hand Side
by the exit/ enterance way
- Being placed by the enterance way could be a health and safety issue - Contact Health and Safety team in Facilitators
CODY TUCKER
- ACOUSTIC GUITAR/VOICE
Week 5 Cody Tucker sound check in the Great Hall for Market Palace
So that corner was the best but it sounded great! We need to try claim that entrance way.
This is a crucial element if we want the music to not reverberate of the walls.
One issue we are trying to resolve is the echoing caused by the high ceiling and four walls. Although the great hall will be filled with many objects and stalls we have managed to find a small covered area by the left hand side of the building.
DRAX PROJECT

As our event can't pay people we will try to offer additional services

Poster Design

Selling their EP on the Day 100 % profit to Drax Project
As the funds are small we were hoping to offer a service as selling their new EP for them to claim 100% of the profit. Also another ideas i had was to vinyl cut some golden stickers in the form of their logo.

PROBLEMATIC:
However after two attempts to contact them through close friends in ID year 4 and a Facebook message they don't seem to be interested this leaves us to find more acts !
This is slightly frustrating however they are a well known band who play for gigs that give them a down payment of $1000
Hopefully we continue to have success finding more bands and solo performers
SOUND CHECK POSITIONING TESTS
This is the ideal spot to have a stage , two reasons...
1) its stop/ minimises the echos from amps and voices
2) it would not look clunky rather sleak and sophisticated in a small tucked away area where power cords and equipment will not be tripped on
- Across the door way passage
-We tested in the lobby area of the grand hall however it was the exact same to being in the centre of the grand hall - echoed
-We were quite keen on the idea of having a stage risen about the crowd that we could easily cover in black cloth and fairy lights to create dramatic scene .
-We have tried to contact david pearce about stage hireage
- Is there a possibility to get a bigger / hire stage ?
- Is this all that Massey has avaliable to them ?
-Plants ! we want it to be cosy yet natural and plants provide a relaxed vibe
- We want the scene to look full on and busy with things rather than empty and dull
-The upper stairs area of the museum building is the perfect setting for quite busy yet calming and homely !
