Sometimes we play for people who have us sign a contract, sometimes we don't. Mister and I think we need to have a contract for those institutions that don't regularly use one as we have been shorted somewhat in the past. Not badly, mind you, but had we had a signed contract, there would have been no misunderstanding.

We were also thinking we should have one even for charitable events where we aren't being paid, stipulating that we must be included in the pre-event publicity.

How do some of you handle these things?
