Common use of Extra Rehearsals Clause in Contracts

Extra Rehearsals. Sub-clause (a) refers to an additional rehearsal on the day of the concert in addition to the one already covered by the minimum rate, i.e. if you should plan two rehearsals on the concert day. Please note the rehearsal on a day other than a concert day referenced here under (b) indicates an additional rehearsal to the one on the concert day. If there is no rehearsal on the concert day, then clause 2.(b) applies instead. Re clauses 4., 5., 6., 8. In these clauses, the engager is encouraged to discuss matters with the musician to be engaged. This is in recognition that each group operates slightly differently, and that groups are spread across the whole of the UK and subject to local conditions, so the outcome of such discussions may vary from case to case. However, this means that when budgeting groups should include a contingency in their budget to allow for additional costs that may arise under these clauses, depending on the musician they ultimately offer the engagement to. Re clause 5. Doubling Please read this carefully and consider the implications of your repertoire when setting your budget. For instance, you may not have considered paying doubling fees for related instruments such as piccolo and flute; and you may want to re-examine your payments to percussionists in particular. However, we think we have succeeded in making this clause as easy to understand and apply as possible, enabling you to see quickly what your budgetary implications may be.
