Question:

What is a band rider and also what is a stage plot?

I am auditioning with a band for a concert and they entry requirements state those two, along with a demo and and artiste bio. I have no clue what a band rider and a stage plot are... and also where i can find ideas.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: a band rider details everything you will need in the event of a show - this could be specific band gear, instrument accessories, sound equipment, etc (once you get bigger, you can start including food requests and such).

A stage plot is an overhead detail of how the band is set up on stage - instruments, mics, monitors, other plug-ins, anything that needs to be on stage.
