PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL WITH "I GOT IT" SO I KNOW EVERYONE'S EMAIL ADDRESS IS VALID.
 
There are a lot of details in this email. All are important.

=================

We filled up all performance slots quickly again this morning. There was an exception this year with a one-time pre-registration offer to help us celebrate our 25th anniversary festival. Schools who plan to donate at least $400 in used musical instruments to the schools and musicians in New Orleans in the name of Frank Mantooth were allowed to register early, and the first 15 to do so were extended free registration. 

Twenty schools have joined our NOLA campaign! (To see the list of donating schools, go to: http://ntjazz.com/Jazz_Festival/2008/Application/NOLA_Donors.htm)
 
WE WELCOME ANY ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS who may want to donate ANY quantity of used instruments to NOLA schools. If you wish to join our cause for Frank's memory, let me know. We will designate your school as a donor school in any publicity that our NOLA project might receive.
 
===================
To see the performance schedule and clinician assignments for this year, go to:  http://ntjazz.com/Jazz_Festival/2008/Schedule/S/school_schedule2008.htm
Check your school's listing on that schedule to see that your email link and your school's website is correct. Let me know of any mistakes or bad links. Also e-mail me any questions you have.
 
If you have a major conflict with the performance time/location you have been assigned, contact another director via e-mail and trade times. Let me know if a trade takes place so I can adjust the posted schedule.

attn. J. Warrick
New Trier High School
385 Winnetka Ave.

===================
 
I will work on the staffing and details for the Jazz Director's Big Fat Band as soon as possible.
 
===================
 
Be advised that, as in the past,  FINAL TOTALS FOR EVENING CONCERT TICKET NUMBERS WILL BE EXPECTED FROM YOU BY OCTOBER 15. You will soon receive an email explaining more. Start now working on exact numbers.
 
We have a Director's Correspondence Page that shows any amounts you owe, the number of tickets you have pre-ordered, and a LOT of important details. It is updated everyday. Bookmark this page and check it often. It is linked to the left side of the jazzfest webpage.
 
 
 
NOTE: I have had to adjust the number of reduced price tickets some of you ordered. As it says on the application and in the "rules", only performing students and chaperones can get a reduced price ticket. All others must pay full price. Some of you will see in your "ticket box" on the Director's Correspondence Page the new numbers based on the number of students you said on your entry form are in your ensemble... plus no more than two chaperones. I have assumed local groups might use as many as two chaperones and groups probably staying in a motel need four.   If you need more chaperone tickets, let me know. You also get a free director's ticket.
 
We will be using and making adjustments to the ticket numbers on the Director's Correspondence Page from now forward rather than your original online application, which was probably done in haste.
 
Again, final ticket totals (not money) are due by OCT. 15, so start working now on your totals. You can raise or lower your ticket totals until that date, after Oct. 15, you can only LOWER them. This allows me to know how many tickets I can sell to Jazz Festival sponsors and general public.
  
===================
 
NOTE TO BANDS STAYING IN A MOTEL ON FRIDAY and/or SATURDAY... Let me know that you will be doing that. We have a Marriott hotel in Northbrook that is only a 20 minute drive from New Trier that gives a GREAT reduced rate to our participating schools and professional bands.
 
 
Thanks,
Jim Warrick
