What this template covers

This template converts a real 43-channel cover-band plot from an oversized 100 by 50 foot canvas into a practical 40 by 26 foot stage. The finished nine-piece lineup has drums, bass, guitar, keys, trumpet, saxophone, lead vocal and two backing vocalists.

The 21-channel input list includes a nine-channel drum package, bass DI and amp, guitar amp, four keyboard channels, two horn spots and three vocal microphones. Eight monitor mixes provide individual rhythm-section IEMs, one shared horn wedge and dedicated wedges for the three singers.

Flexible seven-to-nine-piece setup

The template opens as the full nine-piece band, but it scales down cleanly. Remove either backing vocalist for an eight-piece version, or remove one backing vocalist and one horn for a compact seven-piece lineup.

  • Drum and horn risers with drum-riser stairs
  • Separate lead and backing-vocal positions
  • Bass DI, stereo keyboard DI and distributed power
  • Central stagebox rack to keep cable runs short
  • Larger performer icons and clear label spacing on the compact stage

Open the template in the editor to add a trombone, switch the vocal wedges to IEMs, or expand the keyboard and guitar rigs for a larger production.
