Bands Please Supply a Proper Input List and Stage Plot

I don't do a lot of outside shows anymore. My job at Desert Springs Church keeps me pretty busy. When I do have a gig, common issues occur with the input list and stage-plot.  Namely- there isn't one.  Or if there is, it is not up to date.   Stage plots and input lists don't have to be fancy, but they should be correct!  If you are a band that has a booking agency sending out your riders, make sure they have an up to date version. I can't tell you how many times I hear the band in frustration say, "Why did they send you that one?"    It is always a good idea for you to communicate with the sound company, church ,or club ahead of time to prevent unexpected suprises.   (And Musicians:  ahead of time means at least a couple of weeks not just a day or two.) The earlier you speak with them the better your chances of ensuring the equipment you want for the gig. Here is an stage plot I made in a program called StagePlot Pro as an example.

 I got this from the Technical Leader list on The City. It was shared by James Dager.
