Monday, June 10th (6-9pm) Performance at Dazzle

Congratulations Vets for an incredible benefit concert yesterday! You sold additional tickets, which have reduced the balance of your trip payments. Some of you now have additional funds in your account, since you had finished making all trip payments! A special thanks to all the parents for their help and work yesterday – you are all terrific! And a big thank you to Koli and Emilia for coordinating the entire event!! Here are some totals for you: Food Profit – $167.75 (after we took out the $270 that we all contributed); Tips – $67; and General Ticket Sales/Donations – $235. It looks like the benefit concert contributed a total of over $3000 to our trip!! Great work everyone!!!

Vets – Please realize that all late trip payments must be turned in, at the very latest, by Sunday June 29th.

New band members, please bring your June dues to Dazzle .

Vets – Please bring any past due trip payments, if you have not already done so.

Entire band – Please meet at Dazzle (930 Lincoln St, in Denver) on Monday, June 10th, by 6pm (No Copland). Please wear your blue/slacks outfit. You will need to bring your big band instrument, if different from your regular instrument in our band. Equipment:  Dazzle has a drum set, but Colton – please bring your cymbals. Dazzle provides a bass amp and grand piano. Bring a guitar amp (if needed).  All stands, lights, chairs and sound system are provided either by MJO or Dazzle.

Ticket are $12.50 (pre-show via the link below) and $15 at the door. Obviously, the incentive to get reservations ahead of time is to save $$. We will split the total pre-show ticket sales (after PayPal expenses) with MJO taking the first $400. I will bring you a check to the gig as ticket sales CLOSE Monday afternoon the day of the gig. Please stress to the students/families NOT to wait until the last moment to get their reservations; depending on what is going on the day of the gig, sales may close early in the day.

We can sell approximately (85) seats ahead of time and leave the remaining (10+) for walk-ins and other reservations.

It is very important to use this system vice just coming to pay at the door for a few reasons:

1.  It allows Dazzle to plan their staffing.

2.  It allows Dazzle to plan the seating, especially for the larger groups that want to sit together.

3.  If they just come to the door, it IS possible (and HAS happened) that between the school and non-school reservations, the room is full and they cannot get in!

4.  It’s cheaper!

*** Students/Director do NOT need tickets.
