Gig Checklist: Preparing for a Gig or Show
It's a good idea to prepare a gig checklist to remember everything your band
will need for an upcoming show. The band would not want to forget any
equipment, especially if your show is miles away from home. Below is an

band

Above is a mock gig checklist for upcoming gigs for your band. Feel
free to copy it to your word processor and use it or something similar for you
gigs if you like. Your band checklist may include more items so we have
left some blanks for any other special items you may need. We included
business cards and press kits so that your band never misses a chance to promote
for future shows. You never know who may be at your gig, so always have
your promotional tools ready. For more info on
press kits click here.
Good Luck in preparing your gig checklist for your bands next show.
