We've been working this prom for several years. It's about 120 miles from the house, but they've always been good to work with. This year's songlist had some smart-alecs but no biggie. The prom is held is a large warehouse area and it's usually 150-175 kids. The entire community comes out and they do their senior walk-out (I don't have to announce it) on one end of the building while we setup at the other end. We'll take over around 8pm.
This is the rare gig where I miss the LS801ps but the Alto subs do a respectable job. This year, I put my facade in the center, in front of a 12ft screen. Subs/K10s are on each side of the table and I have another pair of EV Live-X 12" about 15 feet outside (and back by the back wall). I really like the extra pair of tops and they help boost the coverage. I'm hanging a pair of Martin Acrobats on each outer top and have my main lights (2 movers with colorstrip mini on each mini t-bar) on the outer edge of the screen. We have the entire dancing area flanked by my 9X18 uplights and Slimpar56 cans on the other end of the building (boy, what a difference between can brightness). We have a ton of wallspace to cover, so my son came up with the idea of doing a 45 degree angle on the cans along the brick walls. I have about 25-30 cans total and they sure do cover a lot more area by shooting an angle. Here's a shot of my setup (without dance lights being on of course (they're doing senior walk-out now.
