The "Fee" breaks down to $100 a day for six days. However that is for full band / crew up to 6 participants. 

So:

. if 6 members participate that is only $17 a day for each of them.

. 5 members participating is $20 a day per person.

. 3 members participating is $34 a day per person.

. 2 members participating is $50 a day per person.

If one artist participates alone they will not have anyone but themselves to accompany them. This is possible or we could attempt to find you backup players.
