FAQ
Q. What is your payment policy?
A. This is handled on a case-by-case basis. Every school budget is different in terms of where they payment is coming from and when finances are available, and Standing 'O' will accomdate your needs. I also offer a "delayed billing" policy, which will allow you to get your music immediately, and pay when your budget allows you to. For clinics and other services that include a staff member traveling to your school, payment should be received on the final day of the provided service.
Q. How long does it take to compose and show?
A. This time period depends on various factors, such as the difficulty level of the show, whether it is an original composition or arrangement, etc. Generally, show composition can take anywhere from one to two months.
