I am so blessed to have this company survive these most economically difficult times. The Lord has indeed given this small company a steady flow of clients and has somehow penetrated the foreign market! Its just too bad that I wasnt prepared to answer the inquiries with such important questions like: how much our international rates were! I was hoping my friends could help me with this but maybe the next time I had a foreign client inquire I had to know these basic facts before hand. It just completely went off my mind that the company is advertised here on my blog, and therefore all the world can access it!
But just for a better idea, I hope my colleagues would agree, we would charge an international fee PER PERSON of
Php10k/day, or US$200/day, spent abroad (including day of departure from Manila, Philippines to day of arrival back at manila), minus one day for touring*. So for a quartet, four musicians, Php40k/day or US$800/day. For three days that would mean US$2,400, plus airfare, accommodations, food, fees and taxes, FOR THE WHOLE QUARTET!
Airfare, Visas, Airport fees, taxes, etc. would be shouldered by the Client. Board and lodging (hotel accommodations), and transportation to and from rehearsal/performance venues would also be shouldered by the client.A day means
three hours of work (rehearsal or performance). We would have to charge for overtime which means an additional $40 per hour or a fraction thereof in excess of three (3) hours.
NOW, hold your horses, before anything else, we can negotiate a
package "Take Home Pay" of
$500, for up to five days (3days rehearsal, 1day performance, 1 day rest and recreation)
*Now, the group would require an extra day at the place for sight seeing and R and R (rest and recreation), but the client wouldn't need to shoulder that, unless of course they want to!!!! That day of course is not considered as working day, and we need not be paid.
