![]() | AFM...when should i join I am a college student. Many people have told me to register with the american federation of musicians to become a performer. Many people have also told me I don't need to. What is everyone's thoughts on the AFM? Thanks! |

![]() | Re: AFM...when should i join A lot depends on where you live and the type of gigs you play or aspire to play. It's really too difficult to generalize because union influence and representation varies tremendously from local to local. If the jobs where you live or want to live require union membership then joining is a given. In some places the union really only represents the full time symphony or bigger entertainment venues and seem to have little interest or influence on the local music scene. Size up the situation where you live to make an informed decision.

![]() | Re: AFM...when should i join For most people it's nothing more then a club where you make contacts. It doesn't cost that much so I say join. In my local there are parades and church processions that no one wants to play so you could pay your dues with that money. The union did get money for me a few times when I could have lost it. My last word, join. |
