Under what circumstances is it appropriate for a band to put out a
hat (case, jar, etc., for tips) at a contra dance?
Here in southern California, the gas prices are exceptionally high, the pay
for musicians and callers is usually low, and driving distances can be far.
When the band comes in from outside the local dance community, the series
producer or band sometimes puts out a hat for tips to help cover the travel
expenses. Dancers often contribute appreciatively.
