All sound check blocks begin ~2:30 hours before their respective concert. We’ve divided that time equally among all pieces programmed for each concert—however, knowing that sound checks require technical troubleshooting and elastic time-management (particularly for live performance pieces), real-time, in-the-moment, priority will be given to those pieces. For fixed media pieces, we’re mainly looking to spot-check the levels, particularly at the loudest points in the piece (some fixed media pieces are quite short). So, in the interest of time management, when a live performance piece is running into trouble during sound check, one or more fixed media pieces should be ready to quickly spot-check their pieces while the live group troubleshoots. Then when the live group is ready, they can continue their sound check. In this vain, it would be prudent to arrive early to your sound check time.

Please help us stay on schedule by sending media files to LSU before Jan 26 and arriving early to ensure that all instruments and equipment are ready by your scheduled time.
For multichannel pieces, when submitting media files, please specify speaker arrangement.

Sound checks end 30 minutes before the scheduled concert time to allow for audiences to enter the concert space.
