Sound From The Top of The Strip

Had an incredible time working as A2 with AV Vegas for a festival-style gig on the STRAT pool deck. My role covered stage scene changes and managing the patch across all 5 bands — keeping everything moving smoothly through each changeover. Technically, this one was about as clean as it gets — not a hitch in sight.

The long, narrow open-air setup means coverage and rigging coordination have to be locked in before showtime — and when that prep pays off on the night, it shows. Excited to get back out there next Saturday.
