Re: [Organizers] cancellation policy - Musicians

8 Jan 2012

Like other communities we use Facebook and phone calls to notify the community that a
dance is cancelled. The determination is made by our board, it is typically based on other
area closings, particularly the cancellation of classes at the nearby University of
Tennessee. If we have scheduled out-of-town talent for the evening, they will be paid,
however our local talent is not paid for a cancellation; since we dance on Monday evening
it is unlikely that we have knocked the out of another gig.

 Suggestions for objective qualification(s) to cancel the dance that's in a non-urban
area (wherein town doesn't declare states of emergency, no public transport to shut
down, etc.)???

 And by objective qualification I mean one that entails no in-the-moment discussion for
coming to consensus among committee members, whose individual senses of safe/unsafe may
vary widely.

 By the way I'm loving this thought-provoking exchange on this list.  Thanks all for
weighing in and opining/sharing.  Look fwd to more.

 Sometimes it's a problem with venue availability rather than weather.
 In one case there was some event the next day that needed setting up
 and we ended up agreeing to take care of that which kept us there a
 while at the end.

 Other times locally there's been a short notice change of venue but
 the dance went on.   Good to have some alternates up your sleeve (with
 contact numbers) in case the need arises.
