Production Packet — Jay RebL × TRC Events
Technical Rider & Run of Show
"International Reggae Day: Roots to Modern Sound" — a 2.5-hour acoustic-to-electric park showcase, with Prestige Sound on selectas and Q-Ality Sound on PA and stage. Draft site/ power/backline specs below are a professional starting point, not confirmed equipment — finalize every line with the venue and both sound companies once a date and site are locked.
01 — Personnel & Roles
On Site
Jay RebL
Lead vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, host/MC for the sound-system transition
Backing musicians (2-3)
Bass, percussion/Nyabinghi drums, second guitar or keys — headcount to be finalized with the band
Prestige Sound — Selectas
Main selectas: Bad Chargie, Dedo High Grade, and Buju. Foundational riddim juggling for Act II and bed tracks under Act III.
Q-Ality Sound — PA & Stage
PA and stage sound reinforcement for the full band across Acts I and III — one dedicated engineer for the full 2.5-hour set, not shared with another act's changeover.
Stage manager / production lead
Runs the show clock, cues transitions between acts, is the single point of contact for the venue
02 — Stage, Space & Power
Site Requirements
Dual-Stage Layout
A park shell or open lawn with room for two zones: a small acoustic circle at ground level (Act I) surrounded by audience seating, leading into the main amplified stage (Acts II-III). A shell or covered stage is preferred but not required if weather contingency (Section 05) is in place.
Power
Two dedicated 20A circuits minimum — one for backline/stage power, one for the FOH sound system — plus generator backup if the site has no house power. Exact draw depends on Q-Ality Sound's final PA size for the site; confirm directly with them once a venue is locked.

06 — Run of Show
2.5-Hour Program
Clock times assume a 5:00 PM start — shift the whole column once a real start time is confirmed. Relative times (T+) are what actually matter for the stage manager's cues.
| T+ | Clock (draft) | Segment | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| T+0:00 | 5:00 PM | Doors / Welcome | House music (Prestige Sound), crowd settles, community info tables open. |
| T+0:05 | 5:05 PM | Host Intro | Jay RebL welcomes the crowd, frames the show as an International Reggae Day celebration and names the community workshop participants. |
| T+0:10 | 5:10 PM | Act I — Roots to Modern Sound Tribute (part of Roots & Rhythm) | Short acoustic medley drawing on Bob Marley's songwriting (e.g. "Redemption Song," "Natural Mystic") into an original transition — framing device for the day, not a full Marley set. |

07 — Weather & Contingency
Outdoor Show, Standard Precautions
Confirm the host park's rain-date or covered-shell policy before the date is set — NOITP sites vary on this. Backline and FOH gear need weather covers on hand regardless of forecast. Reconfirm the site's amplified-sound curfew (city noise ordinances vary by park) before finalizing the Act III end time.
