Sound / Light Production

TNT SOUND & IN THE MIX PRO

TNT Sound has been providing the professional touch in Sound and Lights since our beginning in 2007. Tedd has expanded his system almost every year to keep up with the continually growing audience. Tedd has been working in live audio for 30 years and attended Full Sail recording school. He has worked with a long list of professional artists. more on TNT Sound

With the demand of larger bands and a continually growing audience, we have expanded our sound and light production to now include In the Mix Pro. Josh has been in the business for over 25 years and brings with him additional knowledge and equipment.

Josh and Tedd together make Village Hall Park simply sound amazing! In fact, we get compliments from bands all the time on the quality of production at Waterford River Rhythms. Check us out, Village Hall Park has never sounded this good!

Park Setup

OUR STAGE

Waterford River Rhythms stage with new Band Shell Tent

In 2009 the Village of Waterford had a stage built for River Rhythms which eliminated our hefty stage rental fees. We had a say in the design process with criteria being a natural look that would blend into the park. With the awareness that this event brought to the park, numerous non-profits now utilize the park and the stage.

The original stage was 17ft wide x 13ft deep with a natural turf ramp, steps in the back and steps on the left side. For the 2015 season, the stage was expanded to 30ft wide x 20ft deep to accommodate the larger bands and bigger shows.

In 2019 the Village assisted us in getting a Band Shell Tent cover for the stage. It is a beautiful thing!

PARKING

Waterford River Rhythms at Village Hall Park in Waterford, Wisconsin

Ample street parking is available through out the immediate area. You may find yourself walking a couple of blocks, but it's worth it! There is also a municipal parking lot right next door to the old fire and police building. It's right across the river from the park, just a short walk across the bridge.

Village Hall Park is very close to our neighbors, so we appreciate your consideration for them. We very much want everyone to enjoy us being there, because it truly is the perfect place to be.
