WELCOME TO DOWNBEAT
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
LOADING GEAR
The day of the gig, you’ll meet the A1/A2 for your gig at the storage unit to load gear.
The gear lives at:
2581 E Colorado Blvd
Pasadena, CA 91107
You can park anywhere in that parking lot and call the A1/A2.
All the gear you need to bring will be listed in the PCO link on the app. The keys for the vans are hanging near the front of the unit. The vehicles are on the premises once you get into the gate.
If you need to get gas while you’re out on the gig, take a picture of your receipt and email it to travel.downbeat@gmail.com
The Chevy Van takes regular gas.
The Sprinter Vans takes Diesel.
At the end of the night, you’ll return the gear and van with the A1/A2, lock the storage unit, and you’re all set.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
How do I use all your gear? Great question, here’s everything and more than you wanted to know:
All info on the gig, including time, pay, and more, is in the Planning Center App, commonly referred as PCO.
When you receive a gig request through the app, you’ll be able to see the full event details to accept or decline it in the app. Planning Center is the exclusive place for everything so make sure you have the app on your phone. (link above)
How do I get paid?
By filling out this form. You can do that now or after the gig.
Who do I talk to if I have additional questions?
Contact the Production team at production@downbeat.agency. Alternatively text Christian @ (818) 322-6694
How do I give Downbeat feedback on what I need to perform better?
Fill this form out at anytime to give us feedback on how we can improve. We want to hear from you!
I can’t figure out the call time. How do I see the timeline on the app?
There’s a toggle to switch the app to time instead of duration. You’ll need to switch this inside the order section in the app.
