[Dixielandjazz] Help from the East Folks please

I have no idea of their availability but there is an excellent youth jazz  
band in Washington, D.C. area -- at least there was a year ago when I heard  
them.  I believe the contact is still Dave Robinson and will cc this to the 
 last email I had for him.

I have a  friend who wants to hire a decent Youth Jazz Band in Washington 
DC on Tuesday  MAY 24th, 2011
If anyone on the list knows of one in the DC area please  provide me 
contact info for them and I will get it to him
right  away.

Thanks,

I work for non-profit that is  releasing a documentary film in Washington 
DC on Tues, May 24th. The film is  called American Teacher 
www.theteachersalaryproject.org     and  we would love a student jazz band to play at the 
opening celebration before  the screening.

I know this is late notice and probably a shot in the  dark, but I was 
wondering if you know any student jazz bands that could play  our reception on 
the 24th. We have contacted the Duke Ellington School of the  Arts but they 
haven't responded yet. This will be a BIG event at the Jack  Morton 
Auditorium and the US Secretary of Education will be in the crowd so I  can guarantee 
you that this will be a great gig for whomever performs. If you  have any 
leads whatsoever, please feel free to send me the contact info and  pricing 
details, etc.
