Show Production and Touring

[x-treme]

What's an LD who tours with a Rock Band?

I am interested in working with in the Music Scene, and I've been contemplating attending Fullsail and take their Show Production and Touring program.

I was also looking online for jobs (only for research) and most jobs for Stage technicians require a Bachelors Degree. Fullsails program offers only an associates degree. Is that a problem?

Thank you

A high school enthusiast!

Have you done a search of the topics within this site (hit the search button at the top of this page) for Full Sail?

There have been several posts previously, as well as a few more recent ones. Having not progressed through the ranks and as a self-employed mobile DJ I am unable to comment upon much of what you want to know - well at least provide you with answers.

I would suggest making some phone calls to some of the larger touring companies and asking what they expect.

I would also have a look at which program at Full Sail interests you and why and then compare that with other schools.

It really is going to be one of those things in which you will need to do the legwork and make the comparisons etc. Remember, what is good for one person is not always good for everyone else.

One thing that I would like to see is that when you make your decision as to which path you choose to take, that you post a message on this forum outlining what it was that influenced your decision and any other information that you find out.

Also, if you want to ask about any of the teaching methods or styles that you hear about – please feel free to do so.

I hope that this is helpful as a starting point

I'm in FS right now doing ShowPro. The place is awesome. I have read many slandering and many good stuff about it. Eventually it all comes down to you getting out of it what you get into it. The place is awesome, I nearly fell on my ass just by seeing the main building, and there's like 6 of them!!!!!
Take the tour, ask questions, send me an email whatever you need to know at: djcontrol [at] earthlink [dot] net

Good Luck!!

[Inaki2]

Well, there has been lots of discussion about that, I think it is good. You gotta get in contact, come see the place, etc, feel free to email me for any opinions, but I won't start the good/bad debate yet again
