There are many things to consider when hiring a Chicago Band and Orchestra. For instance:

• What kinds of information should I include in my bid?
• How far in advance do I need to book a Chicago Band and Orchestra?
• How do I know whether or not I can depend on the contractor I choose?

To secure the right Chicago Band and Orchestra for your event you should put together a bid (or specification) that outlines exactly what you are looking for. It's critical to include information such as:

• Complete instrumentation of the orchestra you want to use.
• Number of hours of recording time you want
• Number of minutes of music you wish to record
• General difficulty level of the music
• Any special requirements for unusual instruments
• Technical requirements - any technical requirements for recording gear, microphones, etc. you may have

Stylistic issues - specify as much information as possible about the style(s) of music you're recording and what style(s) and to what degree the orchestra should be familiar with those styles.

Knowing how far in advance to book a Chicago Band and Orchestra is a little tricky. This varies based on the schedule of the orchestra and local work conditions, but most orchestras require from 2 weeks to 3 months notice to organize and schedule recording sessions.

In addition, knowing whether or not you can depend on the Chicago Band and Orchestra you choose is really all about taking the time to check a contractor out thoroughly before any money changes hands. Ask for references, and check out those references. Make sure the contractor is comfortable and experienced working on the type of corporate entertainment project you're doing.
