Wanting to compare what your club does for the holiday show, making backdrops themselves? How do you do it? How much do you spend? Or, do you rent a professionally done backdrop or painted backdrop? What company have you used, price, experience?
Asking because our parents make the backdrop & props. They have a good time doing it. They usually use wood, PVC, and tarp or paint paper. I saw a dance studio that made their own painted backdrops for a theater, and they were beautifully done. But, then I saw a professional backdrop that was rented, and it was gorgeous. I looked online and saw that backdrops were just a few hundred dollars to rent. It actually could be less to rent, then the materials to make the props & PVC type backdrops. But, the club members said that when they ordered one, it arrived as a wreck. Another coach said that he bought black out curtains from a big retailer and sewed them all together to make a big curtain.
