I believe you have a good case in not paying him any more than what you offered. First of all, you need to go to the principal and let him/her know the situation. Since they insisted you produce and you’ve had no experience doing that, I’m sure the principal will cut you some slack. The musician also ...

Closer to the performance date, it was one group on stage for a scene, then sit as the other group got on. Hopefully you have a dedicated and well-behaved group of kids to make it work. ...

Is September too busy a time for teachers to want to bother? Is around the winter break better? Right before summer break? Best way to contact teacher: email or by mail? Do teachers get so many emails that an inquiry email could get lost? I have sent some emails out recently with no reply. Of course ...
