So it seems you can do a lot with very little with windbands!

I guess I'll stay away from so many spots, maybe just Mains and Flanks, XY Drum (no Kick) and possibly bass DI - never like the sound of bass amps in distant mics..? Will have some omni's ready for clarinets and horns too, but hopefully leave them unplugged :P

I still have two questions:

Should I ask the organiser to re-arrange the band to my suggestion (keeping the drums and bass stuff in the center?)

About how far apart for the flanks? Some threads suggest 2 - 3 meters, one post suggests 30ft, about 9 meters.

Cheers!
Gareth
