Since I am new to this site, I've been reading your posts and your situation seems to be the same as it is in the Midwest. Is there a way to possibly fix this? I would like to come down with my band just to test the waters. If you had a band living there at some point, the cost of hiring wouldn't be so much. If I were to, at some point, make a move, is there sufficient employment for a variety polka band?
