Corporate Family Day – the main stage

The main stage provides a central place to focus during corporate family day, especially important when an event site sprawls over a large area. Instinct utilised a role in truck stage, allowing audio visual equipment to be up and running in minimum time.. This allowed bands and performers to bump in and sound check first thing in the morning, before doors opened at 11am.

Tumba rumba (a world music/latin band) started the day, with sound of the drums filling the air and giving the mooring a cool beat to explore the corporate family to to. Chunky Jam filled out the next few sets and had the patron dancing  or watching as they ate their lunch, the day concluded with the amazing Daryl Braithwaite.
