I just accepted a gig for a local sorority. They want to write me a check early, but they want a contract. Never done this before so I really don't know what I'm doing. Can someone help me out?

I'd be interested ....
In New Zealand Traditionally for me at least It was No deposit and full amount paid at end of gig, with no written contract.
I think some contracts i've seen on the net no one would book you, here in New Zealand.
And yes i've been caught out a couple of times, one was a 21st were the client spent the DJ money on buying extra alcohol, I did finally get paid thanks to a friend of the client.
Another incident was I was booked to do a up-market function, only to find another DJ setting up, I was double booked!!
So yes im leaning towards a deposit & contract with the balance on the day prior to setup.
I may not require this from Pubs as they always pay OK.

Contracts, booking forms and deposits,
don't fight it, just do it, it will open door's to more professional events. It's just good working practice too
If you ever undertake a proper assignment through an agent, let's say abroad for instance, there will be no question, YOU will SIGN a CONTRACT
DME, share your contract, the idea's to create a really good contract out of them all for everyone to use.
All for one and one for all!!!
It's funny I remember a couple of years ago talking on the phone to a guy that had DJ'd all his life and had never had PLI or PAT, I though this was a bit odd, so I asked him what venues he played in/at and he said pub's n village halls. Obviously, if you just play in villages and in small pub's you might get away with it if never asked to produce cert's to gain entry but why risk it? Anyway, slightly off topic but then again it's all the same to me, just good working practice.

Is there should be something in the contract that actually protects the client? Things like:
- client doesn't owe any monies if the DJ did not show up on time
Or what will happen if the DJ is not able to perform on the day of the event?

Nice thanks a lot guys. Very appreciated.
Also there should be a close somewhere on if the DJ is to provide the Sound system (Clubs & Lounges) or the arrangment if the Clients are to provide the Sound.
Also there are cases where the DJ is providing the sound and he has to perform in a certain floor in a venue with no elevators. Accessibility issue. (Not fun at all).
Here is another situation that's kinda tedious. In some venue (Clubs) the sound system is horrible, the crowd tend to blame it on the DJ. That can really hurt the DJ image.
I also think The client has to be aware of the equipment the DJ will be performing on. I had one experience one time where after setting up my tts, speakers, few lightings, power stations, the client was all glowie and happy and as soon as i pulled out my laptop the guy went ballistic. Even after trying to explain the him the Digital DJing concept, showing him my music HD, my music folders, and have him next to me for a while before the party starts so he can really understand what I was about to do, he still was not convinced. To him I was not "live", my stuff were "pre-mix" and "save" on the laptop. You would not believe it; that night gave me a lot of business, every one had a blast except the clients.
