The band and the DJ were booked for sound check on the same stage at the same time.
Each act's schedule is generated from the show time, and overlaps on the same stage show up as conflicts before the day.
Graduation operation · Acts and entertainment
Bands, DJs, singers, dance groups and special acts are what the class remembers about the ball, and a generic supplier record knows nothing about that. Here every act has a production sheet: setup, sound check and show times with no stage conflicts, rider and green room fulfilled, setlist approved, fee with taxes and installments in Accounts Payable, promotional material approved and a plan B ready to trigger.
The problem and the fix
If any of these situations sounds familiar, it is because they happen in almost every graduation company, until the right system comes in.
The band and the DJ were booked for sound check on the same stage at the same time.
Each act's schedule is generated from the show time, and overlaps on the same stage show up as conflicts before the day.
The green room didn't have what the rider asked for, and the act went on late.
The artist rider becomes a list with an owner and status per item, and the green room logs who delivered each thing and when.
The band played the song the institution had asked them not to play.
The setlist is approved by version, with restrictions per song. A song flagged as prohibited blocks approval.
Finance paid the last installment to an act that played half the time.
The final payment is only sent to Accounts Payable after the show is logged, and the report compares contracted time with time actually played.
The invitation went out with the wrong photo of the artist.
Name, photo, logo and promotional copy go through production and marketing approval, with version and usage expiration.
The DJ canceled the afternoon of the ball and nobody knew who to call.
Every act has alternatives with cost, availability and trigger conditions. Triggering one creates the new booking with the schedule copied over.
In practice
Everyday situations at graduation companies, from the problem to the result, using the modules on this page.
The ball had a band at 11 p.m. and a DJ at 1 a.m., with both sound checks scheduled in the afternoon.
The schedule generated the stages for both acts and showed the sound checks overlapped by forty minutes.
The DJ's sound check was moved earlier during event week, and the band's setup wasn't interrupted.
The committee asked for thirty more minutes of show during the party.
Production added the extra to the act's fee, and the report recorded the actual time played.
The extra was paid with the event's class identified, with no arguments at close-out.
The lead singer lost his voice on the day of the event.
Leadership triggered the alternative already vetted, with a known cost, and the new booking inherited the schedule and the stage.
The replacement act went on at the scheduled time, and the incident was recorded in the evaluation.
