[QUOTE="Mike Monte, post: 207382, member: 285"] I have done a few high/jr. high school musicals. They can be fun... I do not own enough wireless lavs (I only have four) thus I need to "rent in" additional mics. When I send in the bid/price quote I list everything (yes, everything...down to patch cable...all of which I have in my inventory) that I bring; I also include the price of the rented in gear (and delivery costs). My fee to tech a local (in my town) school show is $125.00 per night for a three hour period for a week's run. If they balk at the price I tell them to call a local rental company to rent the gear, have the company deliver the gear, I set it up, tech the gig, and will pack it up ready for pickup on the last night. Sometimes a client needs to see the actual cost of the gear to get the job done. FWIW: as a musician that has performed in the "pit" for many local and professional shows I know that cost of music/script/backdrop rentals has gone up tremendously in the past 40 years since I started performing. The producer of a local show never questions Tams Whitmark, etc. on their rental costs and royality cost per performance... Why should that same producer question the cost of production?? [/QUOTE]
