THE TEAM
The ones making it happen. Swiftly.
PARKER
BOWMAN
Lead Film & Editor
Parker is the king of editing, he also picked up a camera to really see the final product from start to finish. The videography Parker does is over the top and he knows exactly what to do with it when editing. He edits anywhere from the bus to back at the office. The amount of footage he has is similar to the amount of ocean water the world has.
REECE SCHNACKY
DJ/Performer
The performances Reece does are what this whole tour is fueled by, the stage is where he loves to be. No, he isn't a trained professional but Reece has a passion, love, and desire to keep entertaining and putting shows and experiences like this together. Off the stage, Reece keeps all the touring organized and ends tied up.
CARTER
WAITE
LIGHTING DESIGNER & Operations
Making sure everything is going smooth is such an important role. LIGHTING is a huge part of the tour so CARTER spenT lots of mind on LIGHT DESIGN AND MATCHING THE ENERGY TO THE PERFORMANCE. THE VISUALS ARE WHAT PEOPLE SEE WHILE MATCHING THE FEELING OF THE MUSIC, THIS IS SOMETHING WE BELIVE HAS TO BE RIGHT FOR SHOW SUCCESS.
MANKATO, MN
Week 1 - Show #1
Venue: The Square Deal
Thursday, May 5th
The venue offered a great-sized stage which we transformed into up-close drumming and a DJ setup with a massive light backdrop and smoke that shot into the middle of the venue. The college culture in Mankato was super supportive. We had a mid-sized crowd that was super into the show. The merch table saw a good amount of new fans. The messages we received after this show were positive and they wanted us back on a Saturday.
FARGO, ND
Week 1 - Show #2
Venue: TAK Music Venue
Friday, May 6th
This was the biggest indoor stage we played on all tour and man was it fun. The venue provided all sound and lights then we brought some more effects in to make it even more of an immersive stage. This was the furthest stop away with the least amount of fan base so when this huge group came in we let them come on stage and dance around. We even let one of the NDSU players guest DJ! What a night.
RIVER FALLS, WI
Week 2 - Show #3
Venue: Club Bold
Friday, May 13
Coming into this city without knowing what to expect was a test of confidence. Going in, the venue owner was showing doubts that college was out and there might not be much of a crowd... which was the opposite of how the night turned out. We now are very fond of the city, the venue, and all of the newly gained supporters. One time for all the people who came to dance and have a good night with us.
MENOMONIE, WI
Week 2 - Show #4
Venue: Diablo Blue
Saturday, May 14
We have been waiting for this night to happen since the day we booked it. The owner of this venue is a great guy and the culture in his location demonstrates it... besides when we turn the crowd up a little too hard and people trip into our equipment. There is only us to blame. The kids loved the merchandise and the stage and lighting we brought in truly transformed the whole night from what they were expecting.
EAU CLAIRE, WI
Week 3 - Show #5
Venue: Brother's
Friday, June 3
Wow. This is the city that Reece attended college in and this night gave the phrase "hometown crowd" a whole new definition. Everything about this day was amazing, the morning was filled with good coffee and a radio interview followed by Parker knocking an edit out on the bus. Then we pulled the bus up 6 feet from the venue entrance. The show was a grand slam, with tons of merch sold, tons of smiles, content, a happy team, and so many people talking about it after the fact. The Brother's team is an incredible group to work with. Thank you Eau Claire.
EAU CLAIRE, WI
Week 3 - Show #6
Venue: Passion Board Shop
Sunday, June 5
When planning an outdoor event... always expect rain. This is why indoors is such a safer option yet a good outdoor night for a concert is almost unbeatable. We had some great press such as big social promo, radio ads, and more all promoting this event and people knew about it and more importantly who we were and that we were putting the event on. We had some incredibly talented music artists and live painters that made the day super fun to be around and connect with!
RICE LAKE, WI
Week 4 - Show #7, 8, 9, 10
Venue: Aquafest Main Stage, Aquafest Party Tent,
& The Bar Rice Lake
Thursday, June 9 - Saturday, June 11
This weekend was a rollercoaster with so many great shows and great people. We played our first ever two-venue night which was a rush. The main stage with the drums was also super fun, the people wanted drums the whole show. Each night ended with a super high-energy set in the party tent which always found a way to pack almost full. So many people got to experience the growth of what we did in a year coming from a little trailer and SUV to pulling in with a bus and spending the weekend on the grounds. Make sure to check out all of the content from this weekend, it was a busy one.
CADOTT, WI
Week 5 - Show #11
Venue: Yellow Bar - Country Fest
Friday, June 24
When we say masses of people we mean it, there were hundreds if not over a thousand that were in the crowd at the Yellow Bar. This is the biggest campsite party at any festival we have ever seen. We got to pull in and enjoy the show on the festival grounds then start the live set at 12 am and around 1 am it peaked. There were so many people, it was great to get in front of that sized crowd and tell them who we were! The show ended and a couple of hundred people decided not to leave and wanted more... due to event personnel as much as we wanted... could not go anymore. We didn't have a videographer at this show however, make sure to check the photos of the crowd.
COUNTRY JAM USA
Week 6 - Show #12, 13, 14
Venue: Country Club Tent
Thursday, July 21 - Saturday, July 23
What a way to end the tour... the energy on these festival grounds was immaculate the second we pulled in with the bus. The stage and setup were one of the best setups on the whole tour that featured a catwalk for people to come dance on, which was a fun feature for crowd entertainment during the DJ sets. We did three sets a day for three days and we likely saw over 4,000+ people. It was insane, the crowd came every night literally running when they hear our extremely loud speaker system hit. The crowd brought the best positive energy which was everything we needed for the final weekend of three months of shows.
The Proving Grounds Tour was a success, to say the least. We absolutely are capable of tour management as a business and team after our three-month live experience. We saw thousands of people and are so thankful we got to share so many unforgettable nights with the fans from city to city. Thank you, until next time...
