Soundcheck?

Question:

Soundcheck?

I won tickets to a very famous stars soundcheck.

question is...
what is a soundcheck?

i know it's when they test the mics and such, but what does it entail?
Is it a mini-perfomance? what should I expect?
will it be loud??

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: yes, it is basically a mini-performance, to check the actual sound in concert conditions. Yes, it will be as loud as the concert itself.
