How much do you pay them if you do pay them? For us this year, paying guarantees for a 3
person band and caller would mean we're out $600, which is no small change, and would
take a very long time to recoup given our small percentage of series income per dance. I
do get the 'professional' angle though (and laughed at the anecdote about your
musician friend racing out the door before the cancellation call... maybe I'll try
that sometime.)
