[NAGDU] Question For Musicians

[Cindy Ray]

No, you are right. Well, when I didn't take my dog up to the pulpit with me,
I left him with my husband and he brought him to church for the second
service. Then after church I took over. He was having problems with slipping
on the wooden steps and I was afraid he would sustain injury.

I am a singer, and I often take my dog on stage with me. For this show,
there will be a lot of people, including myself, moving around with costumes
and such, and there is not really a place for my dog to be tied down. That
is actually a good idea to have someone backstage hold onto her like a tech
person. I will bring that up this Sunday when I go to rehearsal. Thanks,
guys!

very much used to and comfortable with it. A couple of times during our
partnership it wasn't practical to have her on stage with me, so I'd
typically have her backstage and then hand her off to someone I knew and
trusted to hold her for the duration of the show. I don't know what kind of
show this is or the setup of where you'll be playing but is there a sound or
lighting tech that might be able to hold onto her? I wonder if this would be
more practical as they may be more stationary than an usher once they're
done with setup.

talked to the director of this show about leaving Demi in her portable
kennel in the green room during the shows and dress rehearsals, or else
having an usher watch her, and he says this would be all right. I am
wondering, though, what others have done in this situation. Are there any
other ways y'all have found to deal with performances like this?
