Outdoor Shows
When Rock Med works a concert staged under the sun and/or stars,
we find we need a lot more preparation than for other shows.
You may want to do the same. We always tell our staff to bring hats,
perhaps a bandana for cooling off the back of the neck, sunscreen,
and loose clothing that covers the arms and legs. If we'll be working
into the evening, we also bring sweaters or jackets
for the temperature change.
Most outdoor concert areas don't have much in the way of shade,
so it's important to take good care of yourself.
Those with fair skin and light hair are especially
vulnerable to a long day of sun and need to
protect themselves with sunscreen.
Make sure you drink plenty of liquids.
Check before the concert to see whether you can bring along
your own water container.
