Behind
the scenes of Deans shows, numerous people provide assistance and have important roles to play in ensuring that
every show is a success. Without their contributions, the shows would not run
smoothly,
or with the high level of quality and professionalism that is expected. Get up close and
personal with all that happens behind the scenes that “makes things
happen”!
It all starts with the agent, making hundreds of phone calls, sending even more emails, and meeting with club entertainment managers to obtain a booking. Once a booking is made, the information is passed onto Management. Phone calls are made to our musicians to check availability and hopefully without too many problems, the band and backing vocalists are put together and dates are locked in. The venue details are then updated onto the website. In the weeks leading up to the show date, collaboration is made with the agent, club, band members and backing vocalists to ensure everything is as planned. A song list is arranged, music charts are compiled and costumes organised. Arrival at the venue takes place several hours prior to 'Showtime'. So for Dean, the musicians, the backing vocalists, production team, and other stage hands, the show has already started. Stage hands set up music stands, lights and leads. Musicians setup their instruments and the production team connect the hundreds of leads that give you the sound and lights. Each instrument, microphone and light is finely tuned and checked until everyone is happy. The place where performers, costumes, and makeup come together are the dressing rooms. The impending show is discussed with all members, hair is teased and sprayed, makeup is applied and performers dressed. Time for a short moment to relax and focus before 'Showtime'.. After the show, it's a reversal, packing up the costumes, the musical instruments and charts, stands, lights and leads which mostly takes place whilst Dean greets the crowd, then - "IT'S OVER" until the next show. |
