Musicians performed necessary services for debtor orchestra and were entitled to priority payments pursuant to collective bargaining agreement.

Defendant musicians were granted a first priority payment of postpetition wages and benefits due under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") as administrative expenses under 11 U.S.C. §§ 503(b)(1)(A) and 507(a)(1). Plaintiff trustee appealed the decision from the District Court for the District of Colorado.
