Terrance is organizing a dance as a fundraiser for a charity that promotes peace. He hires Bill and Ted as off-duty police officers to provide security and the band The Blue Trees to provide the music. On the night of the dance, Bill arrives with Clifford, another off-duty police officer, and explains that Ted cannot work because he got tickets to a hockey game. The Cannon Guys, a band and friends of The Blue Trees, arrives to play the music and explains that The Blue Trees got a chance to open for the Rolling Stones and so cannot perform at the dance. Terrance thinks the whole dance is going to be a disaster, but when the night is over, he has raised $20,000 for the charity, although the expected profit was $30,000. It seems a number of people demanded refunds when they learned that The Blue Trees would not be playing.

What is the main legal issue? Explain the legal consequences of The Blue Trees sending The Cannon Guys to perform at the dance. Explain the legal consequences of substituting Clifford for Ted as a security officer. Who can Terrance sue for the lost profit of $10,000?
