SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Keyboard, Drums, Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar.ABOUT
I started playing guitar when I was 16 years old and immediately knew that one day I would be a "ROCK STAR". Unfortunately, "Growing Up" and gigging in local bars did not pay the bills and construction ultimately became my career.
(My dreams of being a famous rock star have since slowly faded away).
Over the past 20+ years in construction, I have managed to work my way up from a "Carpenter's Helper" position to a "Project Manager's" position. Even though I knew I would never be a rock star, playing guitar has always continued to be a very important part of my life.
Durring this past year; my love for playing guitar, as well as my career in construction, has put me in a very UNIQUE SITUATION......
I have just completed construction of an outdoor amphitheater, located in West Boca Raton.
This 10,000 square foot outdoor amphitheater is equiped with the following features:
- Designed to accommodate a viewing audience of over 3,000.
- Stage measures 50' wide, 40' deep, 26' tall.
- Sound system consists of 20,000 watts of "Crown Amplification" with a 48 mic+4 stereo channel mixing console with full patchbay routing.
- 14' tall ElectroVoice line array speaker clusters / subwoofers are enclosed in 2 - 50' tall speaker towers located on either side of the stage.
- Lighting system includes DMX outdoor PAR fixtures and border lights.
- Retractable rear projection screen converts the amphitheater into an outdoor movie theater which can play DVD's, CD's, and computer media.
- This system include assisted listening systems (ADA) and a 12,000 lumen video projector.
- The complete sound, lighting, and audio / visual system is controlled from a remote sound stage located in the audience seating area.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US?....
Both the owner & amphitheater manager is aware of my music background mentioned above as well as my dedication to this project.
Before I turn this project over to them (30 days?) They have requested that I put togather a group of musicians that would be willing to run the sound and lighting systems through a "mock" performance to work out any "buggs" before the GRAND OPENING.
