What happens if a band member cannot attend? - Be sure to ask this essential question
. Occasionally, things occur that no one can control: accidents, sicknesses, or even a death. While you cannot predict or avoid these events, you can prepare carefully. Most bands can call in a substitute at the last minute, but the real professionals have a list of fill-ins that have rehearsed with them. These fill ins often know the set list and the show, and are well prepared to step in. You may need to pay a bit extra for a band with reliable back up, but it is well worth the money. The last thing you want is a ruined party, all because a band member has suddenly come down with an injury or illness.
