Will
the band set-up early?
The
Nightshift Orchestra technicians arrive threee hours before
your guests to set up the P.A system, the lighting, the
bandstands, music etc. If a wedding ceremony is in the same
room as dinner and dancing, we will bring in extra personnel
so that the set-up is complete in one hour.

How
does the client control the volume of the band?
The
Nightshift Orchestra never wants to known as a loud band.
Playing at the right level starts with a mind-set that the
orchestra should have a balanced full sound without over
amplifying any instrument or vocal. Our drummer plays with
a very light touch...Keyboards, bass & guitar play through
small amplifiers...The horns have plexi-glass in front of
them to minimize their sound and the entire mix is controlled
by our sound engineer who is always carefully controlling
the over-all volume. We play especially soft during dinner
so that we don't compete with the conversations of your
guests.

& novelty groups.
