Planning an event at Bogue Falaya Park

Abstract Productions supplies audio visual equipment rental and full event production for concerts, ceremonies, festivals, worship gatherings, pop-up stages and large public events at Bogue Falaya Park in Covington, LA. Every quote starts the same way: what the room has to do, how many people are in it, and what the run of show asks of the stage. From there we spec sound, lighting, video, staging and drape as one package instead of six separate rentals that have to be reconciled on site.

Rooms at this scale are won or lost on coverage. For programs approaching 5,000 guests we plan audio as a system rather than a pair of speakers — mains plus delays or fills so the back of the room hears the same mix as the front — and we size video for the furthest seat instead of the nearest one. Lighting is specified for camera first, because at arena and hall scale almost everything ends up on a screen or in a recording.

Load-in, power and access in Covington

Large and outdoor sites need a plan for the things you cannot control. For Bogue Falaya Park we confirm rigging points or ground-support, build a power plan with real distro instead of borrowed circuits, and — outdoors — ballast or stake anything standing, weather-protect speakers and dimmers, and agree a wind and rain call with the client before the day. Strike is scheduled with the same care as the build so the site clears on time.

Gear ships from our warehouse at 16101 Lamonte Drive, Hammond, LA 70403, so a truck reaches most Covington venues in well under a couple of hours, and a second run for a forgotten cable or a late addition is a phone call rather than a crisis.

What a package for Bogue Falaya Park usually includes

A typical build here covers a sound system sized to the room with wireless microphones for the podium and any panel, stage wash and podium key lighting plus uplighting in your colors, projection or an LED wall for content, a stage or riser with skirting and safe access, and pipe and drape to mask whatever the room should not show. You can also rent individual pieces — a PA system, a projector and screen, a set of uplights, a run of drape — if you only need to fill a gap.

Delivery, setup, line check and strike are part of every rental, and technicians are quoted as their own line so you can see exactly what labor costs. The tech who preps the rack in the shop is the one who runs your show, which is the main reason problems get caught in rehearsal instead of during the program.

Booking, lead times and quotes

Two to three weeks is a comfortable lead time for a standard package at Bogue Falaya Park; conference weeks, festival season, Mardi Gras and graduation weekends move faster, and larger builds with rigging or custom scenic want longer. We can usually turn around a written, itemized quote the same day once we have your date, headcount and run of show.
