UB the Band: Interactive Music Show
|
General:
We book ALL our own shows, and generally do NOT use any agency or 3rd party, so there are no agency fees in our pricing. We also personally do all our own shows, so there are no substitutes, no farming out of services, and you are always getting the exact same show and delivery.
We're available days and evenings, 7 days/week and roughly 365 days/year. We travel roughly up to a 500 mile radius of Freeport, IL. Availability is based on a first-come, first-served basis. We do accept tentative bookings, contracts are required to secure your dates, but please contact us for details.
* Shelter from the elements (or an alternate site/date option) is required for ALL venues/shows. No exceptions, sorry.

Pricing:
Pricing is based on distance, size of set-up, number and duration of shows, frequency of performance (multiple days) and any custom requests.

Our day rate includes a full set-up (typically 2 drum sets, regular and small size instruments), but may vary for your location or situation.
The day rate for a small set-up (small drums, small guitars only) also varies, depending on distance, number of shows, size of audience, etc., and typically involves 1-3 shows of 50 minutes each. The rate includes 4 total hours in any single day (excluding travel, set-up and strike time).
Pricing may vary due to any number of factors, and varies for every venue. Please call for full details!

The multiple day rate for a small set-up (small drums, small guitars only) also varies, depending on distance, number of shows, size of audience, etc., and typically involves 1-3 shows of 50 minutes each and a minimum of 2 consecutive days, up to as many as you need.
Special conditions associated with set-up, access, etc., do apply, and pricing varies based on each venue, frequency and amenities invovled, so please call for details.

Show Specifications:

when their name(s) is(are) called. The basic parameters for the small and large set-ups are the
same, except that the stage/performance area and non-performance time need to be adjusted to accommodate for different gear and set-up/strike time.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any time, for any reason.
