I guess it is a plus it can be a minus too, many pro orchestras have
overtime clauses after 90 minutes without an intermission so
If you are playing a one piece concert with no intermission you might
be told 8:07 to give the audience a chance to be seated and stragglers
in place
to avoid management paying OT.
Basically, during a busy time I would lose money if the call time was
different then the pay time because I could be playing another gig.
Now, I have played for the Pope and President when the call time to
get through security was early but the pay was higher then scale to
account for the extra non playing time

Debbie, then "call time" could be seen as a "plus" for a
professional because it adds to your pay. For an amateur, it is a
burden that makes for a longer day; a church service or a concert
becomes a bigger demand on one's time. The term "call time" is used
by amateur groups to mean the time to show up.
