The band’s sound engineer will be the first to arrive onsite. He will set up the bulk of the equipment (Speakers, monitors, mics, mixing board, drums and various backline).  Two hours is usually a sufficient amount of time to set up and test all sound system equipment.  The artist(s) arrival time on the contract is the earliest time the artist will be able to show up at your event and begin setting up. Earlier set-up times, if possible, must be arranged with Murray Hill Talent in advance of the engagement and may include additional costs. Please understand that having the band play an iPod or laptop through the sound system prior to start time will incur more costs because it will increases the engineer’s contracted arrival time.
