Equipment Provided
Rule of thumb: if you absolutely need it, bring it with you!
For performances at both venues (i.e. clinics and concerts), Rotary Music Festival will provide the following equipment:
- Concert Band/Orchestra: Snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbals, suspended cymbal, xylophone, bells, chimes, timpani (3), and music stands. No mallets will be provided.
- Jazz Band/Combos: Trap set (bass drum, 3 toms, snare, hi-hats, ride cymbal, crash cymbal, and appropriate pedals), 6 microphones and stands, acoustic piano, bass amplifier, guitar amplifier, and music stands. The Festival will NOT provide mallets, timbales, congas, or any other auxilary percussion.
- Choir/Chamber Ensembles: Acoustic piano, risers, music stands.
All groups must provide mallets, beaters and miscellaneous percussion for all clinics and concerts. No equipment may be substituted; all groups must use the equipment supplied by the festival except for the following exceptions:
- Percussionists and drummers may ADD BUT NOT SUBSTITUTE drums, cymbals, or other hardware / instruments to the setup. Substituting equipment takes time and the Festival staff work hard to keep a strict schedule.
- Keyboard players may add keyboards if necessary, but must supply their own electric piano and amplifier.
All equipment belonging to schools and individuals (including cases) should be marked in some way to allow for easy identification. Rotary Music Festival takes no responsibility for lost or stolen equipment.
