[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 73067, member: 30"] Re: Do I Tip The Band? I was in a wedding band for almost 4 years. The one thing that I noticed that will make for a better "party" (Congrats BTW), is that when the band feels "a part of" the party, then they will do a better job and go above "the call of duty". Now this does not mean "letting it all loose", but give them some drinks and decent food and they will be happy. I have done gigs that we were told SPECIFICALLY NOT to approach the bar-EVEN FOR WATER OR SODAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The band would take on an "attitude" and jsut do their job. They would not be into it and the performance lacked quite a bit. Being a little be nice to them (which I sure you would-knowing you) makes a BIG difference. When THEY are having fun-then everybody is having fun. Some of the most fun gigs were not the ones that paid the most-but rather the ones that we felt we were part of the celebration. [/QUOTE]
