During band breaks, we play an upbeat, danceable playlist through the sound system so the room does not go silent and the energy can continue. We ask clients to provide about 30 minutes of set break music in advance, even though the break itself is usually closer to 15-20 minutes. Having extra music gives us flexibility if the timeline shifts, the room needs a little more time, or the break needs to stretch slightly. We download playlists to local playback devices before the event, so we need those links ahead of time and do not rely on Wi-Fi or cell service at the venue.
