The band I'm in has been together for about 4 months. We have played 2 shows just recently. Basically, we are just starting out. We have about a half hour set. A few of the members decided it'd be a good idea to get us on a show out of state, 7 hour drive round-trip, where we have to PAY TO PLAY. $300 to enter, they give us tickets to sell and somehow we keep the ticket $$.
Now, we are 3 1/2 hrs away from the venue, no one knows us, rarely anyone will likely travel with us to the show. I feel this is a bad idea, and a waste of probably $500. Thats all our band fund plus some.
I'm sure we'll discuss it at practice tonight, but apparently the show is already confirmed. It probably isnt too late to back off, but if 3 out of 5 members are all for it, I really cant do much.
Any thoughts/insight?
