So now your band is sounding pretty good, but there is more. For many bands, the sound is only the beginning. A good stage set up, lights, costumes, etc. can make a band look much better and be more marketable to many audiences. Here is where creativity and a little hard work can really pay off. First, lets talk about lights.
Lighting can really help a band, but it can get expensive.
First you will need a lighting controller. The ply wood can easily be cut and nailed into a box that can be placed on the floor. The top surface of the box will have the five contact switches mounted though holes in the wood. The five electrical plugs will be mounted in the back. When the box is all wired up, it can be placed on the floor of the stage and be used to run up to five flood lights by simply stepping on the switches.
