PREVIOUS UPDATES FROM THE CZAR:

I need the rest of you jammers to start forming groups, think about what you want to play, and claim your own segments ASAP. You can contact me about any of this via fb messaging, or at davidorr14@hotmail.com

Thanks,

--David Orr, Music Czar
 

MUSICIANS: thus far, the only "solids" I have are the Sun Village 41 year reunion, Doug Blake solo jazz guitar (excellent, by the way) and a set of Buddy Holley tunes by Scott Rosen. I need to know what the rest of you want to play, who you plan to play it with, etc. ASAP. We have a number of people who have no internet whatsoever, so I'll have to coordinate via phone/ flares / whatever. Hope to have the list of musicians w/ contacts up soon so we can start forming bands for the evening (currently looks like I expected - heavy on guitarists, light on bassists and drummers, and a mix of other in there: sax, trombone, congas, flute, marimba...). I know that it seems to most of you that this is six months away, so what's the rush (?), but it's my job to not only turn this into a fun time for all of the great musicians from our class to get to play together once again (my original intention), but to also to turn this into an entertaining show.

BTW:  Because it turns out that there are costs associated with this event, each attendee is asked to pay $10, with the understanding that if there are excess funds they will be used to provide a direct benefit (such as a drink or two) or a contribution to New Trier (in the unlikely event that no one drinks at the All-Star Jam).
