GENERAL INFO
TRAVEL
AIR TRAVEL
• D.R.L. will purchase tickets for air travel at the lowest possible fare and provide flight dates, airport, flight numbers, and arrival time approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. Please reimburse airfare upon receipt of the airline receipt.
TRANSPORTATION
• If a rental car is not needed, please keep in mind that when picking D.R.L. up from an airport, a vehicle such as a passenger VAN, or PICK-UP WITH A COVERED BED will be necessary to accommodate the 4 member band and their luggage.
HOTEL
Hotel arrangements are needed only if an event lasts longer than one day. In all other cases D.R.L. would prefer to stay in provided transportation. In the event a gig would last longer than one day, 2 single rooms would be needed. No other special accommodations are needed.
GENERAL SOUND INFORMATION
D.R.L. DOES NOT CARRY THEIR OWN SOUND SYSTEM WHEN FLYING. In order to make the event that D.R.L. is participating in the absolute best it can be, a good sound system is vitally important. Today’s audiences are more aware of sound quality than ever before, and it is our commitment to excellence by having the best sound available. It is the Sponsor’s responsibility to provide adequate sound gear for the planned event. In the event that a system or system components need to be rented, it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to cover the expenses. Please understand that “loudness” is not the goal, but clarity and quality are essential. The information below will explain Dirt Road Laws’ basic sound needs in detail.
TECH RYDER FOR FLY DATES
