2. SOUND BOARD AND STAGE SNAKES
   There are 4 snake boxes located on the stage, each one is label box 1-4. Box 1 is the closest to the sound box. Each box is color coordinated and labeled at the Input and on the sound board. Each box has 2 XLR ___ Blue & ___ Purple plugged into the Sound board, along with Monitor outputs marked ___ AUX. Each AUX is related to the BOX #, ie BOX 4 = AUX 4

Note: Please use a direct box for Keyboards and Bass, if you don’t have one, please use the 1 of 2 provided in the sound box. There are a few Black and White XLR that are not being used and are loose in the sound box. You can plug them in using a ¼ inch TRS adapter provided. They are label to their box

3. 3. HOW TO PLUG IN
      Use our Monitor or Use your own. We provide (2) ALTO 12-inch 700W powered speakers.
      Use the Yellow XLR to plug in to the snake box marked ___ AUX 1-4 for monitors.
      How to use a Monitor.
      Once you plug in a monitor you can adjust the volume on the sound board. If you are plugged into BOX 2 the monitor is ___ AUX 2 on and your mic is plugged into ___ BLUE = Channel 1 you can adjust the main volume with slider, use AUX 2 knob on channel 1 to adjust your monitor volume.
      Would you like to hear other band members through your monitor? If so, since you are using AUX 2, you can adjust the knob labeled AUX 2 on any channel to increase their volume, to your monitor.
      This stage gets loud please use monitors.

   5. FOG (the 2 black pipes on the stage are fog cannons.)

      Adding fog to the show brings the light all together, use the wireless removed in the sound box. To activate FOG please push either 2 or 4 on the remote. You may need to extend the antenna of the world’s smallest cell phone and act like Zoolander to get signal to the machine.
