Andy Wooler spoke of: <<1) If "rank and file" players get 20 a job, what to the real stars get? <<2) Do players in top bands get paid for attending contests as well? <<3) What sort of percentage of sponsorship money is used... <<4) for those bands that have a significant MU membership, are union rates paid for gigs? <<...large sponsorship deals <<As for the lottery and equal opportunities, surely bands applying for grants...>> In the States, there is no lottery for bands, virtually no corporate sponsorship, and no pay for players (with the exception of a few "professional" bands, such as River City, Battle Creek, etc.). It's all sheer volunteerism for the love of the music and our instruments. I was under the impression that this was also the case in the U.K. brass bands. Was I wrong?
