M.E.I.N. Travel Package - 2010
Description of Soundcheck/Q&A Experience
Soundcheck Experience – See behind the scenes!
Held on the same day as the concert inside the venue, soundcheck is the actual time Melissa takes to ensure the sound levels are properly adjusted for herself, her band and for the audience. This is crucial for her relationship to her music and her fellow musicians, ensuring that voice and instrument levels are right for their playing and the audiences' listening experience. Sound levels vary according to the type and size of the venue. The lighting and all other technical aspects are often tested as well. Typically, only parts of songs are played and sometimes new songs are tested or rehearsed. The amount of time dedicated to the soundcheck period varies per venue. These are informal and offer you a live, behind-the-scenes perspective of concert preparation...and more time seeing Melissa!
"Great show! The soundcheck and Q&A were awesome.... Fun times...!!!" - Angela
Q&A (Question and Answer) Session – Community connection!
This session offers you the opportunity to be in conversation with Melissa in a group setting. All travel package guests are assembled in one area, often inside the venue where Melissa answers specific questions by guests. This becomes an open forum for all participants so you can get to know her more and for her to get to know you. Typically, guests are selected at random to ask Melissa their question. Even though this is a group experience, the directness and honesty of the sharing sets an intimate tone unique to any other. This enriches the connection with Melissa and deepens a sense of community amongst the group."She is always phenomenal in concert - however, the time with her before the concert just blew us away. She sat there, hanging off the stage, answering everyone's questions, like she had all the time in the world to spend with us, as if we were old friends.... How amazing!" - Subrena & Judi
