What is a Day Sheet?

Day Sheet

A day sheet is a document used in live event production, particularly in the music industry, to outline the schedule and logistics for a specific event or performance. It serves as a detailed itinerary for everyone involved in the production, including artists, crew members, and venue staff.

Key Components of a Day Sheet:

• Event date and location
• Load-in and sound check times
• Performance schedule
• Technical requirements for each act
• Contact information for key personnel
• Vendor and supplier details

The day sheet is typically created by the production manager or stage manager and distributed to all relevant parties to ensure everyone is on the same page and the event runs smoothly. It helps to coordinate the various moving parts of a live production and ensures that all necessary equipment, personnel, and resources are in place at the right times.

Throughout the day, the day sheet serves as a reference point for the production team, providing a clear outline of the day's activities and helping to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
