Outdoor shows are a special experience. Imagine three to six tipi at night, some translucent, illuminated by powerful interior stage lighting to create an image of chinese lanterns. Imagine a team of traditional dancers in ancient outfits whirling and twirling in time to traditional drumming, a native flute echoing across the tree line as the moon is covered by silent cirrus clouds.
Outdoor shows, or indoor shows with lighting effects.... are really something else.
American West have superb sound systems. Powered or unpowered 16 channel mixer desks, and amplifiers offering thousands of watts power. Radio microphones are the rule these days and they have up to six radio microphones in use , also three headset radio microphones, plus three drum and flute microphones, and multiple mini-disk units for pre-recorded music when needed.
Indoor shows are equally stunning with superb lighting effects in darkened rooms.
