appicha Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 It's surprising how many ads for bassists don't mention money... Bassists deserve to be paid and not treated as 'extras'... don't they..? I see this is charity work and am glad to see this so explicitly, Best wishes for your search, appicha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I think this will be the normal state of affairs for Concert bands, Wind Bands, Brass Bands and amateur orchestras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Sorry guys, there is a whole subset of amateur bass players that don’t get paid. In fact, you could say I’m paying to play as the Concert Band (a charity) has an annual subscription. I think you will find that a lot of orchestras and concert bands are like this.

bassintheface Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 being involved as a bass (tuba) player with a championship section brass and, depping regularly for orchestras and wind bands, they usually / typically (IME) still cover travel expenses. Regardless, good luck with finding someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
