Official Selection: The Crew + The Gear + The Van

Hello brothers!

It’s me; Max.

Wanted to share a rare technical glimpse; behind the scenes of the Value Select National Tour!

OUR TEAM; Handsome & Talented (in that order)

OUR GEAR: Wireless & Theatrical (in reverse order)

OUR VAN: actually a Class-A RV (Forest River FR3 32DS)

Now to talk further of these categories, respectively…

1.) We’ve debuted each member of the group on INSTAGRAM, with their story & role in the squad… Crew wise, we performers chose to take on responsibilities normally outsourced to “suits” for budget + space reasons (for example, Kyle will be the TOUR MANAGER… Daniel will control the lights & projector as the A.V. MASTER) … Yes! Together with Jazz Emu, that’s 8 of us on the road!

2.) The gear is Broadway Grade (so I’ve been told) … it’s three Sennheiser Wireless Transmitters (one for each actor) each connected to a professional level Beige Sennheiser Headset Microphone… the band and I are rocking wireless in-ear monitors (allowing us to focus on specific instruments) … and we’ve got an entire tech board that routes all these signals to TWO SEPARATE AREAS: one for live venue sound, and one for our own private recording (to be used in the VOD) … Visual-wise, we’re sporting a juicy 1080p projector running Resolume Arena to broadcast visuals… and we’re filming the entire tour with two VS owned BlackMagicPocketCamera4k’s, and a SONY “somethingoranother” brought by Film-Man Caleb… All this was a big purchase, and a necessary one, for this gear will be used for all VS MUSICAL tours going forward (including smaller Los Angeles sketch comedy shows to come!)

3.) The RV is sick as hell… it’s 33 feet long, with 3 TV’s, a fridge, a kitchen, two showers, a queen bed, a bunk bed, two fold out beds, and a lofted bed over the cockpit (a lotta beds)… It is our steed, our noble home, our place of refuge, our little slice of hell….

And with over 1,500+ tickets sold, we’re nearly in the clear payment wise (for both gear and RV!)

If you’ve got any questions! Shoot ‘em’! I’d love to talk about any and all of it!

Around a month or so left till tour!!! SEE YOU OUT THERE!!!
