Quoting live music performance at a fixed price
A performance quote should state the lineup, set lengths, arrival and finish times, sound requirements and the overtime rate.
The biggest single commitment is "Live performance, three-piece band" at $1,500.00 (61% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.

The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-4010 for:
- The accepted price, $2,467.60, and the quote number
- Customer name (Casey Nguyen in the sample), signature and date
- The deposit due on signing, $1,233.80, and how to pay it
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Musician pricing tips
- Write the set times on the invoice, since a dinner that runs late often means the band is asked to keep playing, and overtime is only easy to bill when the schedule is documented.
- Separate the sound system from the performance fee; some venues provide a house system, and an itemized line lets the client drop it without renegotiating everything.
- If you pay side players, keep the band fee as a single line rather than showing each musician's cut, which keeps member pay private while showing the size of the act.
- Charge for learning a requested song outside your repertoire, because arranging and rehearsing a new number takes hours across the whole band.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a musician quote?
List exactly what is included (7 lines for three-piece acoustic band for a two-hour corporate dinner, with cocktail-hour guitar and a sound system in the sample), give one fixed price ($2,467.60), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a musician quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a musician quote ask for a deposit?
Bands usually take a 25 to 50 percent non-refundable deposit to hold the date.
