    Pie4Weebl, You're right, it is a permanent open air structure with a sail cloth semi-open roof not really designed to be weather proof, just weather resistant. No building really, just support poles for the roof and of course the truss system. The truss is permanently installed not portable.

    Yes, we have 3 phase available, so that is something I will look into. No chance are we going to have Black Oak, not much of a chance for country, the owner doesn't like country.

    Thanks so much!! I have talked to a Memphis talent agency and one from Little Rock. They were giving me names like Black Oak Arkansas, a Journey cover band, and a few others no one has heard of for that kind of money.

    Thanks Gafftaper, I have told them I am not qualified for this thing. The venue only seats 100 people max and I don't think they need all the truss etc. I don't think we are going to be able to get any touring acts, might be wrong, but the place is small. The owners are going to pay the grand...

    No, not purchased yet and we know how dangerous it can be. The owner of this place owns a fairly large commercial construction company (mostly large defense industry work) and has engineers and a huge fabrication plant. The only way they are able to build this thing at a cost no else could...

    Les and Duckjordan, We are going to buy a board with sliders and it will be run by someone we will have to train. We are in a small town a long way away from anywhere and will not be able to find anyone who has ever run lights. It is concert lighting, way easier than theater. The boss IS willing...

    LED lighting, I'm the DUMMIE!!

    Thanks for the reply Leslie, The problem with only one channel is the boss is very big on aesthetics and wants two separate trusses running the width of the stage and does NOT want a wire linking one truss to the next truss, like a dmx daisy chained from one truss to the next truss. I have seen...

    I hope someone here can help me. I know almost nothing about stage lighting, was an audio engineer back in the day, but that is doing me no good on this project. My boss, knows I have an audio background, has tasked me with this stage lighting project, oh boy!! They want to use all LED lights...
