The 4 new band members who will not be present on Sunday, please bring your June dues to Dazzle on Monday.

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

On Sunday, a full drum kit is provided, but some drummers prefer to bring their own throne, cymbals, hi-hat, and/or snare drum. Trevor, you’ll need to bring your keyboard. Andrew, a bass amp will be provided.

Please go to: http://youthallstars.denverjazzclub.com/donate/ to order your benefit concert tickets via PayPal today! You will receive a receipt for your tickets and your name will be added to the paid guest list (no physical tickets will be issued). Thanks so much for all your support!!

Parking: On Street, Sprouts Market (across the street), King Soopers (1 block east), Tommy’s (38th & Sheridan), and the hair salon (Yates & Xavier). Do not park at Hilarios – they will tow your car! 

Bus Transportation: RTD Bus #38 drops off at the hair salon; and Bus #51 drops at Sheridan and 38th.
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.

Tickets:  We use Constant Contact’s EventSpot system. Below is a link to the registration page. Students/parents need to go to this page to get your reservations (“registration”) using PayPal. Physical tickets are not required; please DO NOT call Dazzle directly (as this will cause confusion with duplication reservations).

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.
