How
much space do you require?
A rough guide to our space requirements is 6m wide 3M deep. This is only a guide
and we are very flexible with setting up.
What
are the power requirements for the band?
The band uses a separate power supply for both the PA and the lights, this means
that we require a minimum of two 13amp power supplies (not two on the
same extension but two individual supplies). If your event is being held in a
marquee we strongly recommend that you check with your marquee provider, as they
will be able to advise on power supply.
What
about volume and noise levels?
The
Super Troopers
do not use a drummer. This means that we have total control over
the entire volume of the band. In our experience we recognise that
you often need the band to be loud enough on the dance floor, to create an
atmosphere, but not to be offensive to the rest of the room.
How
long do you need to set up & sound check?
It takes around 90 minutes to set up and soundcheck. We prefer a cleared room
for this period.
Can
you play CDs or background music at all?
Background
music can always be played prior to performance by special arrangement. If you
have any particular music that you would like to provide we will be happy to put
it on.
How
long do you play for?
The show runs for 65 minutes non-stop!
Can
any of the guests at our event use your equipment & instruments?
Under no circumstances are members of
the public permitted to use, borrow or interfere with any of our instruments or
equipment. The gear we use is often specialised and expensive, which means that
the insurance is also specialised and expensive and does not cover public usage
of the equipment. Damage to any of our equipment will ultimately effect our
livelihoods.
