First Live Music Gig - Mark Wills

[Digital Illusions]

Ok, so I have been asked by the newspaper that I am contracted with to go and photograph a country concert (Mark Wills) tonight at a historical theater here in town. :barb
This is my first such gig. I am allowed only a short period of time in the theater for photography, 2 songs. So I need some help. Are there any tips out there of any pitfalls to avoid. I am borrowing a 50mm f/1.8 and I will have my normal glass too. Should I bring my monopod/tripod? Note the theater will not allow me to use flash.

Please help I need to be there in less than 2 hours.

thanks :thumb

Thanks Ziggy! I have added that read to my "to do" list. Too bad, I did not know about it before the concert tonight.
