What might make a good first post? I’ll go on a hunch that it has to be both interesting and insightful. I guess a short read might be nice too for engagement. So here goes… This is the striking (tearing down) of a stage extension. One of the many hidden aspects of theatre/concert production. These pits serve to store the unused seats and double as the orchestra pit where musicians play during theatrical performances. In our case, we had it raised to stage level so that our performers could be closer to audience members. One of the things I love about concerts is that behind (and underneath) the stage, there is another “orchestra” that aims to go unoticed. An orchestra of staging, sound, lights, and coordination. A great metaphor for how our most public moments of triumph are underwritten by the silent efforts of the many who have helped us there.

Despite your meticulous planning, unexpected challenges may arise during outdoor concerts, especially in the summer. ⛈️ Summer concert tip #4 is to prepare contingency plans for potential scenarios such as adverse weather conditions, equipment malfunctions or logistical issues.

The spotlight illusion — it feels like you're making progress on stage, but your business is in shambles offstage. Examples: • Trusting your show will sell your merch for you • Touring without a clear plan for profitability • Prioritizing quantity over quality of concerts The real focus should be on your systems to support your spotlight.

Why do people cough more during classical music concerts? About 10 years ago a German economist "dropped" a paper titled "Why Do People (Not) Cough in Concerts?: The Economics of Concert Etiquette", basically claiming that concertgoers cough on purpose. “If coughing were purely accidental, it should occur evenly distributed over the concert, which is not the case,” he points out in this paper along with the fact that coughing increases during slower, quieter movements - something that anyone who frequents concerts must have noticed. Strangely, coughing also ramps up during complicated passages, or those unfamiliar to the audience. The author basically proposes that coughing is a passive-aggressive commentary on “uninteresting” sections of the performance.
