I am trying to write up a requirements sheet for brass quintet performances. Do any of you have requirements for square footage etc.? I'm thinking 15 x 15.
Any other physical space requirements?

Yes, it would seem best to specify everything.
As an aside, the famous Van Halen "Bowl of M&Ms in every color but brown. If necessary, pick brown candy *out*" was not a case of petulant rock star demands. They got so tired of promoters not meeting their requirements vis a vis power, lights, staging, etc. that they put a line in that said that they wanted a bowl of M&Ms with all of the browns picked out just to see if the promoter actually read the rider. Browns in the bowl? Get their road manager to check everything and raise holy hell about the really important things for the show if something was wrong.
What kind of food should a quar/quintet demand to see if the rider was read?

Once I thought Wade didn't have a warped sense of humor. Only once!the elephant wrote:"We will need five takeout boxed lunches with turkey sandwiches. Please have the person ordering and picking these up ensure that the sandwich shop substitute ham for the turkey on all of them. Do NOT serve *ham sandwiches* but turkey with ham substituted for the turkey. Beverages should be caffeine-free Jolt Cola (if available). Also, as a desert we would like Snickers bars, two without nuts, as we have two members with very serious peanut allergies. Thanks for your attention to these details."The Big Ben wrote:What kind of food should a quar/quintet demand to see if the rider was read?
If they read that they will certainly call for for some sort of clarification.

Oh, and remind them that the Snickers without nuts CANNOT be a Milky Way...
