Music is actually a very important part of your Tampa events. It’s one of those things that you never notice when it’s there, but if it’s not there, then you’ll really notice.
At events, music is what helps set the mood for the whole thing, and if you don’t have the right music or performers, it’s going to be difficult for attendees to get into the whole spirit of the event.
Because of this, it’s very important that you choose the right performer for the event, whether you hire a band to play live music, or a DJ. To help you make the right decision, here are some good questions to ask the performers you’re interviewing in order to hire the perfect one for your event.
What are some of the events you’ve performed at?
Ask them about some of their past gigs. This helps you get a feel for whether or not they can handle the gig that you want to book them for. If they have had a pretty diverse past of events that they’ve performed at, then it’s easy to say that they have the ability to adapt to play at your event.
However, if they seem to be sticking to one type of event only without branching out too much, then if your event doesn’t fall under their specialty, you may have a problem.
What happens if something unexpected happens, like a member gets sick?
What you’re trying to understand here is how they manage to handle unexpected events that might hinder their performance. As we’ve said, music is an essential aspect to any event, and if something stops them from performing, your event may suffer for it.
You want to know what contingency plans they have in place in case something goes wrong, you don’t want to hire talent that say they don’t have backup because they don’t need it.
Have you handled performing at a venue like ours?
Some performers are more comfortable with smaller, more intimate crowds, while others prefer larger, more energetic crowds. You want a performer that knows how to handle the size of the venu that you need them to perform in. Especially for DJs, this is something very important to consider as they take most of their music flow from the crowd.
References?
Of course, never, ever forget to ask for references from previous Tampa events that they may have performed in the past. In addition to how well they perform, you need to know if they’re easy to work with, and capable of delivering the quality of service that they’re promising.
