Press Release

Performing three or even four times a day to promote their debut album,
"Fashionably Late," released on the Jonas Brothers’ label through Hollywood
Records on September 15, Honor Society must surely be in contention for the
title of the hardest-working band in show business. Currently playing an arena
tour with the Jonas Brothers and headlining their own Full Moon Crazy Tour of
club venues, they additionally slot television, movie theater and impromptu
performances into their busy itinerary. To ensure consistently high-quality
sound wherever they play, Honor Society is traveling with Sennheiser evolution
wireless and wired microphones as well as wireless personal monitoring systems.
"We put together a nice rack of sixteen evolution wireless 500 series
transmitters and receivers for our club shows," reports Peter Wildermuth,
monitor engineer/production manager for Honor Society. "That’s more than we
need, but when we have guest appearances we’ve got the flexibility to cover
them. Everybody else is on wired e 835s." The arena tour production sound
company, Clair Brothers, provides wireless SKM 935 G2 vocal mics for the
band, he adds.

Wildermuth says that he and FOH engineer/tour manager Gregory "G" Wright
typically set up two SKM 935 wireless handheld mics for the Full Moon Crazy
Tour club shows, which also serve as the after-party for the Jonas Brothers
World Tour 2009. "But we have about eight spare SKM 935 wireless handheld
vocal mics for those occasions when we have guests," he says. It’s not
unusual for the Jonas Brothers or Jordin Sparks to perform with Honor
Society at the club shows, which are typically at a House of Blues or
Fillmore venue in the same city as that night’s arena show.

In addition, the band’s two guitarists and bass player utilize four
evolution wireless 500 series instrument belt-pack transmitters. Wildermuth
reports, "I haven’t had any problems with any of the wireless guitars or
basses, especially with the club shows. A big part of that is the Sennheiser
A 5000-CP circularly polarized antennas. You put those up, aim them straight
down and the band can just move all around."

All four Honor Society band members – Michael Bruno (lead vocals, guitar),
Jason Rosen (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Andrew Lee (vocals, bass), and
Alexander Noyes (drums) – are on G2 personal monitoring systems. "We have
two separate sets of EK 300 receivers and SR 350 transmitters for the arenas
and for the clubs. The band has four separate stereo mixes and then we’ve
got a pack for our guitar/drum tech and I’ve got a mix," Wildermuth
explains. "The guys have been really happy with the personal monitors and
with the way they’ve been performing."

Honor Society acquired a drum mic package to use on their club shows. "We’re
using e 604s on the snare, top and bottom, and on toms, and e 614s on the
hi-hat and two overheads," says Wildermuth. Adds Wright, "We mic the
overheads from underneath. It keeps it cleaner and it doesn’t pick up the
overall stage."

With a debut album to promote in addition to songs on the soundtracks of two
new movies – "The Wizards of Waverly Place" (also released as an album on
Walt Disney Records) and "Bandslam" (released on a Hollywood Records album)
– Honor Society are certainly staying busy. "The band literally comes
offstage at the Jonas Brothers arena shows and rolls right to the club
venue," says Wright. "We’ve done a bunch of TV around the country, we’re
setting up a portable P.A. in a parking lot and playing outside the bus to a
group of fans, and they’re also doing ‘Bandslam’ performances in movie
theaters. There was one twenty-hour day in Washington, D.C. when we did four
separate performances!"
