Covered Performance :

Area

For outdoor performances we require a performance area that is protected by cover for the duration of the performance as rain and direct sunlight are extremely harmful to the musical equipment. Pop up 10X10 tents are great for rain or shine and picnic umbrellas work fine for sunshine. Steel drums are surprisingly fragile, very difficult to obtain, and even harder to keep in tune, so cover is very important.

No Cover – Please choose this option if you are unable to provide protection from either rain or sunshine the as described above.

Rain Cover – You cannot provide shade for the instruments in the planned performance location but have an alternate location that will protect the musicians and equipment from getting wet if it rains. YOU'LL SAVE $30!

Complete Cover-Indoors –Choose this option if your performance will be indoors or if you I can provide cover from sun and rain as described above. YOU'LL SAVE $100!

I Want the Pan :

Leggo Steelband

Please check here to indicate that you understand that you are inquiring about a performance by the “Pan Leggo Steelband” and not by “Ian Dobson’s Pan Leggo” and that this performance may not include Ian Dobson, does not include a sound system so does not have the ability to cover large areas with sound outdoors, does not include crowd interaction, and provides primarily background music.

*************************************************************************

Repertoire :

Please check this box to indicate that you are happy for us to perform your standard repertoire of fun, tropical music at my event. Please click here to view a list of our current standard repertoire

If you have specific songs you would like performed at your event, please list them the song titles below. Please be aware that we generally have to charge extra for arranging and rehearsing song requests that aren't already on our standard repertoire list above.

How Did You Find Us-Other :

If you heard about us some way that wasn’t listed above in the question “how did you hear about us,” please explain here how you found us.

*************************************************************************

Sound Engineer Contact Info :

If you are providing a sound engineer and sound system for your event please provide in the box above the sound engineer contact information (name, email, phone).

Standard Power :

Please check this box to indicate that you can provide our standard power requirements.

The Pan Leggo Steelband Duo works well as an all acoustic act and does not require power.

The Pan Leggo Steelband trio and quartet are available all acoustically as well, but we highly recommend that you provide power for them so that the bass player can be amplified. The impact of the performance is much better with electric bass!

Our standard power requirement is one standard (120v AC 60Hz 20amps) electrical outlet (extension chords okay) within five feet of the performance area. Generators are generally not acceptable as our electronic gear is high-end and can be damaged by generators.

*************************************************************************

Free Parking Provided :

Please check this box if you are able to provide free parking for each band member within 1 or 2 blocks of the performance site (4 parking spots for 4 musicians, 3 spots for 3 musicians, etc.) If we have to go a long distance to find parking it can interfere with our ability to start on time.

If you are unable to provide parking that is free and/or within 1 or 2 blocks of the performance site then parking time and fees will be included in the musicians fee.

Load In :

We do have a fair bit of equipment so it is important for us to plan our load in and load out. Please choose the correct option above so that we can plan accordingly and make sure our performance goes smoothly.

Easy Load In-Out – Please choose this option if loading from vehicles to the performance area musical equipment will NOT have to be carried up more than 5 steps or rolled more than 100 feet.

Difficult Load-Helper Provided – Please choose this option if the load in involves more than 5 steps and-or 100 feet but you can provide at least

One able bodied helper up to 2 hours in advance of our setup complete time and up to 2 hours after our finish time. Hey everyone has dreamed of being a roadie at some point!

Difficult Load-No Helper Provided – Choose this option if the load in is involves more than 5 steps and-or 100 feet and you are unable to provide a helper as described above. We will need to charge extra for your event to pay a roadie.
