Stage Plot
MarchFourth is known for being flexible and working with a wide range of stage sizes and different types of events. To get an idea of what the band prefers, click on this standard stage plot: 
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
RISERS FOR HORN SECTION:
We travel with 4 risers (5′ wide, 2.5′ deep, 16″ tall) that work well for our stage show.
VERTICAL CLEARANCE:
Please make sure there is 14′ of vertical clearance on the stage for our stiltwalkers. If the stage is small and/or the ceiling above the stage is low, the stiltwalkers can perform on the floor; if that is the case then we will need lights focused on the floor in front of the stage.
