Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Booking SR
 

This is a list of questions that almost everyone who books a show has asked us. To save time, we ask that you read the questions and answers below. Thanks!

Q.  How much do you charge for a performance?
A.  Please scroll down the page to see the lists of fees for the different types of shows we perform.

Q. How many drummers will come to the performance?
A.  For churches, there are usually 10 or less, for outside concerts we like to have 10-15 drummers, same for schools, and we usually bring 15-20 to conferences/benefits.  We can never give you an exact number of drummers because many of our members have schedules that change day to day.

Q.  Do you need Host Housing?
A.  Many places do offer us host housing.  Some drummers' families just prefer to stay at a hotel at their own expense; however, we do usually like to have 1 or 2 homes available within the area in case others prefer host housing.

Q.  How long are your performances?
A.  As long as you want them to be.  The common community concert is about 1.5 to 2 hours.  School assemblies are approximately 1 hour.  For churches, we usually ask for 15 minutes in the service to talk about Sheltered Reality and we normally play the drums in the postlude, but we can be flexible depending on the situation.

Q: What do the performances consist of?
A: For Churches, we usually do 2 or 3 songs (more if wanted) and we ask for some time during the service to give a message about Sheltered Reality.
For Schools, we usually do 4-5 songs (more if time allows) with serious messages, usually pertaining to character education, and facts and statistics to educate the students. We then have a fun portion at the end of our assembly to teach everyone that doing good is fun.
For Conferences, we usually do whatever fits into your schedule.  Some places have us play between awards and speeches, some just have us for workshops and concerts. We are flexible - just let us know what you need
For Summer Events, we usually tend to lean to the fun side of Sheltered Reality.  We still give some of the messages, but those are shortened (especially if we are outside). In these cases, we entertain the audience with lots of music.

Q.  What kind of music do you play?
A.  We play to good music!  We have pre-recorded songs playing through our speakers and we play our drums to them.  Some of the songs you will know, some you won't.  We play many different genre's of music - we're sure you will enjoy it!

Q.  What kind of equipment do we need to provide when you perform?
A.  All we need you to provide is an outlet for us to plug our extension cord in so we can get power.  We bring everything else ourselves.
