Thank you for all your input. It seems that it is a moot point, they are already books for the night in question. This, however, is good feedback should the situation ever arise again!

Hey all,

I have a bit of a quandary. I just found out two incredible contra musicians will be in my area. They will be here the day after our local dance. I have a small quasi local band booked already.

Here is the question - is it ethical to ask booked band to change their date (they play a lot in our dance) IF visiting musicians are available & willing?

Thanks in advance,
Mary (Buffalo)
