I do a number of reunions and it all depends on 2 things - size of the reunion and wealth of the school.
I've done reunions with 30 attendees (common here, over 100 is very rare). Spread your cost over the 30 coming and you have to be 'reasonable' to get the job.
I've done a couple of 300 person reunions - much bigger budget, year after year, and higher expectations as well.
Is the reunion in 3 months or a year out? Farther out the more power you have to get a higher price.
VFW hall or country club? Goes to budget again.
I have a reunion in 2 weeks - classes 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 - yes, 6 years - and they're expecting 110 people...and ONE attendeed is paying for me out of his own pocket ($450).
Reunions are all about the HS music, so 72 to 79 ish in this case. Background mostly - they want to reminisce and talk. Some slow dances, maybe some other dance songs will get them out there for a bit, but they didn't come to dance. So don't play it so loud they can't chat.
