Cold outdoor gig – Dec. 19th – What do we need to do for the instruments & equipment?

My band is playing at the Dallas Convention Center on an outdoor stage. Is there anything we can do / need to do to protect the guitars, drums, bass, etc? What about the pro audio gear? I know we’ll have to let them ‘normalize’ to the temperature before we tune and play… Are there any dangers?

well as long as the temperature change isn’t to drastic as in warm to cold too fast and vice versa your usually alright with your instruments, and it’s gonna be mountain air dry if it’s not snowing, god forbid, so investing in some in case humidifiers wouldn’t be a bad idea, keep everything in the case till the last minute and right back in when your done, as far as the audio gear goes it likes the cold and dry, it just don’t like snow and water,
