Stage Plot
MarchFourth is known for being flexible and working with a wide range of stage sizes and different types of events. To get an idea of what the band prefers, click on this standard stage plot: 
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
RISERS FOR HORN SECTION:
We travel with 4 risers (5? wide, 2.5? deep, 16? tall) that we can use in the event that venue does not have risers. If venue has risers, please let us know. Our risers set up and break down quickly.
VERTICAL CLEARANCE:
Please make sure there is 14? of vertical clearance on the stage for our stiltwalkers. This means props, decor or whatnot. Does not usually affect truss for lighting. If stage is small and ceiling above stage is low, the stiltwalkers can perform on the floor; if that is the case then we will need some lights focused on the floor in front of the stage.
DANCER AREA:
We prefer a stage with a smooth surface, so rugs are not ideal. If there are rugs and they can be removed without hassle, that would be great if they were removed. If stage has permanent carpet or rugs then we’ll make do.
