[Dixielandjazz] Food for the Band

[Ric Giorgi]

Hi Barb,
Best of luck with this venture. Have you been able to get newspaper
publicity for it? If not, let me give you some contacts to help you build
this.
I'm playing near Ottawa that night or I'd drive up for your event.
Cheers,
Ric

I book bands at the Brechin Legion and Lagoon City Community Center. Lagoon
City is a community on Lake Simcoe and Brechin is the little town close to
Lagoon City near Orillia Ontario.  ( cottage country )
 
Dinny and the AllStars, a well-known trad band from the Toronto area, will
be playing at the Lagoon City Community Center on August 10th 2013.  They
are making a name for themselves in the area as we have had 2 successful
dances prior to the upcoming one in August.  The area is starved for live
entertainment at a reasonable price and the people have really enjoyed the
dances.  Many still think of "jazz" as that fast bebop stuff and can't
believe how happy and danceable the music is.
 
The night is being billed as "A Fabulous Dinner Dance" and included is a
dinner of filet mignon ( donated at a discount by a resident of the
community)  etc. before the music.   The price of admission is $25.  The
band is invited to have  the same meal as the audience, but is being asked
to pay $10.  The organizer of the event is paying the band their asking
price for the music portion.
 
The band members will not pay the $10, so I am covering the cost, as the
budget is a tight one due to the fact they are selling  less tickets than
the hall will hold in order to have ample room for dancing.  
 
This is a win-win situation for everyone.
 
  The objective is for everyone to have a great time and talk about the
event so we can have many more!  ( not all dinner/dances will have filet
mignon !)
