Musician's Rant

To those of you who want to hire musicians for weddings, parties, & such,

You may be wondering why we (the musicians) charge you so much. Let me break it down:

Song-Selecting/Preperation: 1 hour
Rehearsal time: 2-3 hours
Sound-Set Up: 30min-1 hour
Prelude: 20min-30min depending
Wedding Ceremony or Party Time: 30min- 3 hours
Sound Tear-down: 30min-1 hour

So. I'm feeling a little frustrated as a paid musician. Please pay us what we're worth. You do the math.
