This is a repost. We are on a tight timeline; remember our call time is at 12:15, we plan on be driving away from school at 1:00. You are in charge of your food, instrument, music, concert attire, and anything else you might need for the day.
Dear Jazz Band Members & Chaperones, I’m really looking forward to Saturday, February 10th. While this is a competitive event, please focus on just making beautiful music, supporting each other AND other groups, and having fun at the Jeff Coffin (http://jeffcoffin.com/) workshop and performance. This truly will be a blast!
Below is a finalized itinerary for the jazz festival this Saturday. Please note that we will have a late return time and that you are responsible for meals. Please bring a sack lunch and money for dinner at the concessions (concessions info listed below).
Chaperones – I have two drivers for equipment so far (please plan to be here by 12:15 so we can start loading). I have a few chaperones signed up but have a couple of passes left if anyone else is interested. For chaperones, I will have free admission tickets for you. Please let me know if you plan on riding the bus or driving (we will be tight on space in the bus).
Rhythm Section – Read the note to you below from the festival director regarding what is being provided and what is not being provided for equipment.
