I thought they're given ang pows?
it's $30 - $50 per gig and depends on how many band members turn up.That one variable by chance lah. There must be a basic.
Is it hard or easy to beat the instruments? I guess have to learn the songs by hard, if cockup any how whack sure kenna fucked.

unless you've got a good ear, any cock-up is barely discernible as the others will drown it out.
regularly turning up practice is key and timing is of paramount importance, and when to "chiang" comes somewhat naturally if you've got a good ear for music beats. not sure of key instrument players of the suona (chinese trumpet) etc are paid as the fella doesn't want to reveal.
as for the 'yeoh-lai, yeoh-ker" chariot younger and fitter members, it's $60 - $80 as it involves strenuous movements but they're very close-knit and you only get called if you're on very good terms with the leader - only got a gig once but good training for the once-in, once-out geyland trysts
snafus are part and parcel of growing up ; just get over it - but do think about it onceinawhile (if only to get reality check) and it'll make you strongerLet me share my big Malu story when I was in primary school on stage performing band, and I fucked it up! The whole fucking band already stopped as the song finished already. But I was the only idiot still beating the instrument! Until I realized that I was the only one not stopping! Whole school and guests all laughing and looking at me! CB lah!
Why leh! because that was how I practiced! I repeat the entire song non-stop to practice over & over again. On the fucking ball. So I got used to that, when fucking song finished, I started over again as usual mah. Why the fuck all the rest stopped?? CB... Laughing at me for fuck?

I don't think the people at the funeral care very much about the music quality.....
hanor, there's heartware and there's hardware, and anything limp and soft takes a backseat - passion is needed for both... learn songs by HEART not by HARD. "HARD" is when you want to have sex.
