tipping the band

Hi all, my 8-piece band is $7600. I was hoping to get away with tipping $400 which would make it an even $8000. Is $50 per member OK? I mean, after almost $8000, I cant imagine tipping another $800 in tips! Any thoughts?

I am doing $50 each, I just can't swing giving out $100's on top of what we are already paying!

I have an 8 piece band I am tipping $50 per member too. I think that's fine!

Re: tipping the band

I thought $25 per member was standard?? Is that too little?

Re: tipping the band

i honestly have no idea if $25 is too little. $50 pp seems to be the standard so far but would love it to be $25. I'm glad to see that at least $50 isnt too little b/c I dont think I could stomach doing $100 pp!!!

I have an 11-piece band and cannot do $50 per member I heard $20-25. Or just give the band leader a few hundred and let him split it.

mines 11 pieces too and FH wanted to give them 100 each
I was like are you insane?!?! I talked him down to giving $50 each. which i still think is ridiculous since im paying a crazy amount for them anyway
