played on the back of a lorry, like with your band while at a carnival or something along thoses lines. cause we are next week for about 2 hours while driving thorugh a town, our band is the float.

so i was wondering has anyone else done it?

Are you an acoustic band? If not, where do you get electricity from in the back of a truck?

tbh i really dont know, but you get electricity on floats anyway so im guessing here, but i think it will come from the cab, because they have to power there loads sometimes to dont they I.E a fridge container on the back, they have to keep that powered. but apparently its possible so were doing it haha

I have a time or two. We got power from a generator so we had to play pretty loud to drown out the generator. Its a bit tricky to keep your balance at times since parades tipically stop and go a lot. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
