How much do you pay them if you do pay them? For us this year, paying
guarantees for a 3 person band and caller would mean we're out $600, which is
no small change, and would take a very long time to recoup given our small
percentage of series income per dance. I do get the 'professional' angle
though (and laughed at the anecdote about your musician friend racing out the
door before the cancellation call... maybe I'll try that sometime.)
