Wireless In Ear Monitors....
#138124 - 04/06/05 03:01 PM

Anyone know any good tricks for keeping them in the ear for dancers? Currently doing a live musical theater production with choreography and I am a little worried about them staying in the ear for the choreography. First time I have used them myself, not used to having a nice system;)

For some reason the thought of the dancers running around stage with their heads wrapped in gaff tape like they went through a car wreck doesnt appeal to the directors...

Cant figure out why;)

Sorry, I just assumed they were dressed in aluminium costumes and painted with silver grease paint. No chance renaming the show "Dance of the cybermen"?

I think ucould use hair-bands, if it doesn't annoy the director too much...

If they wear a monitor in each ear, you could drill an ear-to-ear connecting hole through their head, add small hooks to the earpieces, pass an elastic band through the hole and connect the two earpieces together with the elastic band. This will produce sufficient inward pressure to stop the earpieces falling out and prevent the elestic band from being seen by the audience. If they only wear one earpiece, then one end of the elastic band could be passed through a matchstick or maybe half a cocktail stick placed laterally across the other ear. (Remember to take the cherry off the cocktail stick first as it may be unsightly).

HehHeh....

Yall have to much time on your hands;)

Besides if anything you know what you need to do is sew the ears shut with the monitor inside. Better sew the mouth shut too as sound may escape that way...
