Revae,
Thank you for considering us for your event. I apologize for my
tardiness in responding to your email, but I was inundated with final
exams last week. At any rate, we are honored
by your request and eager to provide music for our HU family. We would
love to perform for your event. I am confused about the
date, however, as your email indicated that the event would take place
Saturday, April 15, but the 15th is a Sunday. Please just let me know
which date you intended to include.
As for payment, we can negotiate the price. We typically have a set
performance rate of $50/hr. for each musician, but (1) I know student
organizations are often strapped for cash; and (2) we aren't playing all
three hours, so the price would be lower than normal. We'll be bringing
7 musicians, so once adjusted for the time we'll actually be playing
the price we're asking is
$770 ($36/hr. per musician). Feel free to call me if you would like to discuss this figure further.
We do not own a sound system, so we will need to use one provided by the
French Embassy. Please feel free to give my email or phone number
(
(512) 431-9810) to the sound personnel so I can tell them what we'll be
bringing and what we'll need.
I look forward to hearing from you and to playing a wonderful event!
Best,

Hello Matthew,
My name is Revae Tharps and I am coordinating the HU Graduate Student Assembly Gala 2012. I spoke with Joel about booking Intrinsic to perform for the cocktail hour and dinner portion of our event. The date is Saturday, April 15, 2012. The event will be held at the French Embassy located off of Wisconsin avenue. We would need you from 6-9 pm. The performance would not be for the entire time, we plan to have an awards ceremony and another performance during that time as well. I am still working out the logistics, but I wanted to see if this was something you would be interested in. I was a part of Love Story with Marquise Elite in 2009, and I loved the performance you all gave there! Please let me know if you are interested, and if so, the price and what you would need from us.
Thanks you,
Revae Tharps
