We were hired to do a 3 camera video shoot plus sound and lights for a debutant ball being held in a tent measuring 120' x 60'. We could not have any cables on the floor.

 

Here's how we did the lights.

The second and third pictures were repeated on the other tent poles

 

We had our machine shop create custom brackets to attach our fixtures and truss to the tent poles. The picture below shows a bracket with a single rigging point. This was used to hang the truss from chain since tent poles can move or sway due to wind and can not be hard connected. The picture also shows the same bracket with a pair of 2" O clamps attached, these were used with a 2' piece of steel pipe to attach fixtures to the other four tent poles.

Our sound was for speach only, the band supplied their own system.

 

We had two SA 1521's on the stage and a pair of SRM 350's near the rear of the tent. In the club house itself we had another 4 SRM 350 which were fed the signal wirelessly via an ATW 3110 Unipak.

I did a christmas party for Sky Tv in a few tents just before christmas. We used some very similar clamps from Doughty.

 

In one of the tents, we got away with a couple of 1/4 ton chain blocks to hold up a length of Thomas footsquare.. Similar tent though!
