2. If there is someone who handles your lights or lights for the venue, be sure to thank them for their time.

3. Make sure all mic's needed for your performance are working, eq'd loud enough and on stage ( no one likes watching a band where the singer is in fact singing but no one in the crowd can hear him or her.
