They got balloons

They got balloons Live music was provided by members of the Wiseburn school faculty and members of the community.  They were having a great time performing and everyone was enjoying their music.

We were rejected, but I had already booked us somewhere else that night. Above was the band from a couple of years ago I guess.

HI Dan     

My name is Harley Hoff and I coordinate the food truck event in Wiseburn. Our board discussed your offer to perform and has decided to give it a try for our event coming up on September 28th from 5-9pm. Would you and your band be available to play? We have an area we'd like for you outside in our courtyard.  I will need to know what you need as far as power or anything. We do have a few things we don't want done - you cannot sell anything, and cannot put out any kind of tip "jar". You may freely promote your band, and music with flyers etc. if you choose too,     

Please let me know if this is agreeable and we can work out the details, Thank you for your interest in our event.            p.s. I am a female, cant tell from my name :
Best Regards     Harley Hoff     Wiseburn Education Foundation

Harley,

    Thanks for your offer. We usually put out my banjo case with flyers and free CDs and do receive tips. We are playing for free. The tip money we are getting is for recording studio time for the band. None of us are well off. If you'd like to pay us $40.00 for coming, we don't have to ask for tips.

    The tips are why folks play for free. Musicians don't get to write off their time performing as a charitable contribution. You aren't asking the food trucks not to accept tips, are you?

    We'd love to come. Let me know.

Hello again;

 We thank you very much for the offer to come play. We understand your need for tips to perform but it just isn't a fit for our event. Coincidentally we fund the music programs for our district and plan to have our children perform at future events. We would have liked to have had you to see how it worked but we do understand your need.

We wish you and the band the best of luck !
