A sound check 90 minutes before performing would be nice but with the musicians arriving maybe 30-60 minutes before performing, it's not likely to happen.

I will definitely get there as early as possible to set up the system, but as far as as sound check or dry run is concerned that will be tough.



That's where your roving assistant comes in. Have them report to you between the first couple of numbers on levels, tone, and balance among instruments and vocals, make the appropriate adjustments, and you'll have it as good as it's going to get.

Or, if the audience is paying attention and it feels right, ask for comments from them. You will know who knows what they're talking about. (Hint: It's NOT the one asking for "more cowbell".)
