I believe you've talked about solo practice however playing and coordinating with other people is a completely different story be it leading a band or contributing on another level. Keep up the writing Arjun, its amazing! -Chris Oh sorry for double posting but also:

I wouldn't cancel if your supposed play at some fancy theater or something... -weather they will invite you/allow you to play there again if you cancel. -The effect of playing the show (or not) will have on your bands reputation. -Is your reason for canceling valid in this particular situation? Perhaps a group member is sick, you really feel you need a break, or your out of straight practice As far as I know canceling is more of a morel issue then a legal one and finding a replacement is not actually necessary but when done should be considered an act of decency.
