Q.
Arrival & Setup
When does the band arrive and setup
-
Do we pay for this ? NO
Bands arrive and are set up ready approximately 1hr prior to commencement of music.
Example if the music starts at 7pm
- the band usually would arrive early and be ready by 6.30pm.
You do not pay for this set up time.
You only pay for the band from the first song to the last song of the night.
Extra Early Setup
If you require the band to be set up extra early this can incur extra costs.
The extra time is called down time and is calculated at 50% of performance time
Example if you wanted the band to set up 3 hours
prior to commencement
1 hour for set up and 2 hours waiting around to start
They may charge you down time
If your paying $400 per musician for 4hrs = $100 per hour per musician
Down time is then $50 per hour per musician

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Speeches & Announcements
Can I use the microphone
for speeches & announcements
Yes - Bands, Musicians, DJs etc. are willing to allow you to use a microphone during the performance time.
As the microphones are
attached by leads to the
bands sound system
you would need to stand on
or close
to the stage
for this purpose.
If you require a roving
microphone, this would need to be hired - We can arrange this specially
at a small additional cost.
It is wise to check with
your
functions/venue manager as most venues have roving radio microphones and
PA's
available as
part of the venue's facilities.
