A Stage Plot is practically as it sounds, a plot of the stage. This is where you use a diagram to reflect where the band and equipment will be during your performance, and how the stage should be set up to reflect this. You should always have one prepared for every venue.
What to include on a Stage Plot?
As much as possible but keep it relevant. On your diagram you need to mark out the following
- Show where each member of the band will be positioned on stage
- Where each instrument will need to be positioned and what direction they need to be facing. It won’t be enough for you to just literally put that the drums are ‘here’, you need to show the direction of each of the band members in your Stage Plot. Otherwise their sets up won’t be right and instead of doing sound check, you’ll be scrambling around altering that instead.

- You also need to include the locations of the mics, amplifiers, monitors and possibly the cable positions. They also need to be shown where in relation to the band members.
- You can also include notes about the set up if there are specifics for the members. For example how many pieces are in the drummers kit etc. Or that you need a big banner placed strategically behind the drummer or any special effects etc.
