How to Plan a Cover Band Performance for Any Event

Hosting a live musical performance for any event can be glorifying and unnerving at the same time. Sometimes, a lack of experience prevents organizers from being able to visualize the scale of the event and how to go about it. Booking a random live musical performance such as a cover band of the 80s in the Gold Coast might not be enough to entertain the audience if it doesn't match their tastes and preferences. Carefully considering a few specific aspects of the show can be of significant help in finding the right cover band. 

 

Take Account of Different Age Groups

The chances are that a corporate event would be attended by a diverse range of audience members belonging to different age groups. These groups may be evenly divided into people who are in their early or late 20's to those who have crossed over 60 and moving on to 70. The live-music preferences of these people are most likely to vary to a great extent. Researching their demographics a bit before booking the band can be of great help. The goal is to choose a band or artists who can perform covers that appeal to diversified age groups.

 

The Selection of Live Music

The organizer of a corporate event must be critical about maintaining an atmosphere of joy and respect. There are a variety of prestigious individuals who may be attending the event and their comfort and integrity cannot go un-prioritized. Hence, it is crucial to choose a live band performance that respects their boundaries and would not attempt to sing uncouth lyrics at a corporate show.

 

Pairing Music with Activities

A live musical performance at a corporate event does not necessarily mean that the entire evening would be spent with the audience dancing into the night. Instead, the music needs to be able to set the mood in a way that the audience members can enjoy indulging in other activities like eating, talking and interacting with others. Live cover music is always a great conversation starter in such cases.

 

Consider the Size of the Venue

The venue should be the first thing to book right after the event date has been finalized. After which, the band should be decided based on the amount of space available at the venue. The larger the space of the venue the greater scale can be for the event. If the organizers book a large enough venue, they will be able to host a performance of a fully equipped cover band with equipment and lighting. Likewise, a smaller venue can facilitate a solo singer or a more intimate duet acts.

 

Watch other Live Performances

The most effective way of determining whether a cover band is an ideal choice for a corporate event is by attending their performance first-hand. It would give the organizer a sense of how they will perform at the event itself. It would also help to research the band's history and other events they have been booked for in the past, and whether those events bare similarities with the event being organized.

 

The organizers, in any event, have much involvement in the success of the corporate band performing at their event on the Sunshine Coast. It is up to them to bridge the gap between the audience and the band by matching their similar interests in music.
