We need access to electricity. We need to be sure there is no danger of tripping over cables. We use wooden instruments that can not endure direct sunlight. The sun will throw instruments out of tune. We need to be in the shade. We have two 10 by 10 canopies that we can bring if needed. We use our own sound equipment.
