The call time is when the service starts and you start getting paid.

A minor issue that I have never seen discussed here is what "call
times" you all are experiencing. I have been in ensembles where
there is no call time (the advance time to arrive before the concert
start time) to up to two hours. Call times of one hour are common.
The reasons for such advance arrival times are: a) to get everyone
there; b) to set up; c) for the audio person to get the microphones
set up and adjusted; d) to run through the music (another
rehearsal); e) and to have a quiet time for the last 10 to 20
minutes as the audience files in. Anyway, I think some of the call
time demands are getting out of hand, and this is an irritant to
some of us musicians. What are call times for professionals? An
ensemble's call time is becoming a factor for me in deciding whether
I want to join the ensemble.
