BAND CONTRACT

Hi all
May I ask what must be written in stone for a band contract? What important points I must discuss and have written? What should I be aware of before signing?
I have no idea what to do with contract.
I just want to have a wonderful wedding I don't want to be taken advantage of.
Thank you very much for your input.

p.s. do i have to be anal-retentive to have break times listed??? some of the bridal magazines I have read said break times should be listed. I thought that be crazy ?? I am confused.

In my band contract it has:
time band plays (mine is just reception 8:30-12:30)
names of band members
payment and dates its due
location of wedding
their policy if someone gets sick/emergency - they find replacement
overtime fees
i think that's it - we do not have break info in ours

good luck!

I know its important to have band members listed on contract. I mean I heard horror stories where band members are missing.. or what if emergencies.. does the contract has to state in writing ' in case of emergencies/missing band members, the band leader get another person. Does the contract have to be that specific? what if the band does not abide to what they already discussed with you?
Or maybe i'm just a worried bride

Can you ask them NOT to put out the board with their name on it?
We are going to see a band and the photo showed them with a sign w/ the bands name on it...just wondering what anyone else did!
