Business (20) - Task F - The Band

Having spoken to a member of staff at school, who also is involved with a theatre company outside of school, I have found out how much it will cost for the band. Below are the musicians we would require to put on "Grease":

• Piano 
• 1st Reed
• 2nd Reed
• 1st Guitar
• 2nd Guitar
• Drums
• Bass

I was told the cost per musician per night would be £30 for this production. With four performances and a tech run and a dress run, we would be requiring each musician for six nights, thus costing us (6 x £30) £180 per musician. To pay for the entire band we would have to pay (£180 x 7) £1260, but as the drummer is a music student at the school and the pianist is a teacher at the school we won't have to pay for these two musicians - meaning our total cost for the band is (£180 x 5) £900.
