Please be sure all selections are prepared and memorized for our Bull and Bush performance set for Sunday. This includes: All of Me, After You’ve Gone, St. James Infirmary, It Don’t Mean a Thing, Wolverine Blues, Royal Garden Blues, and Maple Leaf Rag.   

The updated set order sheet and all audio recordings can be found on the Downloads page. 

Please also prepare the following for our rehearsal: Bye Bye Blackbird, When I Leave the World Behind, New Orleans Stomp (lift the solos), Blue Prelude, Black Bottom Stomp, and Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody.

I’m going to try and book our band for as many paid performance dates as possible between now and the time we leave for New Orleans.

The airfare is our biggest hurdle with the Sacramento trip. We should try to purchase the air tickets soon. I realize we just collected for the New Orleans airfare back in December. But, if you can, please pay for the Sacramento $255.60 airfare by this Sunday, January 15th, instead of the $70.00 New Orleans trip payment #1. If that’s impossible, just turn in what you can. United mileage (50,000) can be used to cover the airfare.
I know this may seem confusing, but here are some options for you:

1) Best scenario
          * $255.60 (Sacramento airfare) paid by January 15t
          * Sacramento trip is then paid off (if donations, etc… meet the attached expectations)
          * New Orleans trip monthly payments from February through May are $87.50

2) Scenario #2
          * Pay as much as you can of the $255.60 (Sacramento airfare) by January 15th
          * The balance of the airfare will be due by April 1st
          * New Orleans trip monthly payments from February through May are $87.50

3) Scenario #3
          * New Orleans/Sacramento airfare combined monthly payments from January through May are $121.00

Thanks for your support, everyone! These 2 trips will be unbelievable performance experiences for our band!!
