String Cheese Incident on tour with Robe BMFLs

On the new design for the U.S. tour of Colorado-based multi genre blues-rock-jam band String Cheese Incident (SCI) last fall, lighting designer and programmer Andrew Cass decided to use 18 x Robe BMFL Spots, which were supplied by lighting vendor, Upstaging.

Ahead of the tour Cass looked at all of the venues on the itinerary and the available truck space before making his fixture choices. His drawings started with the largest room on the list, and from this info, he constructed a rig that could be scaled and adapted to fit all the others without compromising the overall look of the show.

Six BMFL Spots on the front truss were used as downstage washes to cover ‘all bases’ and the others were deployed, six each, on the mid and upstage trusses. They were used extensively throughout the set for all sorts of things - washes, profiles, specials, projection effects, etc.

The BMFLs and other lights were all controlled via a GrandMA2 console, and a number of Saber video strips were also integral to the design and fed with content from an MA VPU. The crew from Upstaging were Jason Blaylock and Robin Sheridan. Andrew Cass’ design associate was Cassidy Miller-Halloran.
