All income generated from shows goes directly to covering costs of the band, learn more about the best samba band in New York!.This includes drum maintenance/repair, costumes, rehearsal rental space fees, storage space fees, and liability insurance. While we love doing shows for free, please understand and keep in mind that without performance fees we cannot sustain ourselves. Giving us food and tickets to your event is appreciated and thoughtful, but it doesn’t cover our monthly fees. Besides a negotiated fee, our requirements to perform are: a safe space to keep our personal belongings while we perform, a safe pathway if you ask us to march (NO STAIRS-even 1-2 stairs are dangerous), access to a bathroom, no more than 45 minute call time (we can’t sit around and wait to play for more than 45 minutes, if so we have to charge an extra fee for our time) as well as water for all of us (NYC’s tap is fine!)
