TAFL Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 To DCA corps directors,How do you pay for your arrangers and designers? Do you have a legal agreement? Do you pay them cash, check, wiring money? What is the procedure that your corps uses? Small, unmarked bills. TAFL arranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-horns Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) You should contact a few corps directors privately (not via a public forum) if you want specific examples of how they run their corps. Having said that, the same general principles apply to drum corps as they do do to hiring independent contractors or employees in most any other business, with one of the possible exceptions being that you should account for the potential creation of intellectual property by the drum corps contractor/employee. Any employer relationship should be spelled out in writing, but pragmatically speaking, many drum corps probably do not do this. Hope this is helpful -- DISCLAIMER: This is not legal advice, nor is it a comment on the business practices of any specific drum corps. Lee, as usual, has a valid point about intellectual property. I see the hiring of arrangers, composers and designers as being the same as hiring a consultant or contractor to develop a software application. And if you have instructors and techs, intellectual property should be addressed in their agreement. Oh, and in the original reply I forgot to mention what my old engineering manager said, "A verbal agreement isn't worth the paper its' written on."

Kansan Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The big boys with the big bucks might actually pay money, beer, whatever. Us smaller units (start ups) look for people who are in it "for the love of the game". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Small, unmarked bills.TAFL arranger And make sure the ink is dry on the bills also. Or ask if they accept un-endorsed third party, post-dated, payroll (starter) checks drawn off a foreign bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
