Hi guys,

 

I am forwarding this email from Dan about the San Diego Weekender.  I

know we said that you would be required to do orientations to be

considered to do this gig, but Dr. Bartner changed his mind.  He wants

anyone to do this gig if they can and your attendance at other gigs does

not matter.  So, I have sent you the info Dan gave me, and the rough

itinerary.    We really need to fill 2 buses for this gig, it's a big

deal and we will be getting some media coverage for it and we don't want

to take just a 30 piece. We have to show up with a really good, big

band.  If you can go, please email me as soon as possible and I will add

you to the list.  Also, if you have some conflict or need to drive

yourself or need to make some kind of special arrangements let me know.

Ok, that is all. 

Fight On!!!

 

Monique

Some ideas:  I've also attached the itinerary if you want to go that

way.  Make what you will of all of this.  It's a Catalina-type trip,

it's a football weekend-type trip.  Sell it however you feel the band

will respond best.  -=- dan

We need the full band to attend the "Kick 'Em High" Show in San Diego.

"Kick 'Em High" is a dance show that will feature 100 Rockettes and a

bunch of other dancers, but WE ARE THE FEATURED ACT!  We'll be

performing "76 Trombones" as an opener (same arrangement as Cerritos), a

set of three rock charts in the middle of the show, and two numbers with

the full dance chorus for the finale.

 

The show is on the rooftop of the Westgate Hotel, one of the nicest

hotels in the world, and will benefit AIDS research.  Over 800 people

will be in attendance.

 

The producers have stepped up to make this a GREAT trip.  They are

providing

4 meals (dinner, breakfast, lunch, and dinner)

A trip to SeaWorld

Housing at UCSD

 

We'll also have free time in the Gas Lamp District of San Diego on

Friday night and NBC-TV is planning on covering our Saturday rehearsal.

Dinner will be provided when we get to S.D.

There will be a rehearsal following dinner.

Free time in the Gas Lamp District after rehearsal

 

We're staying overnight in Stewart Hall at UCSD

 

Breakfast will be provided in the morning

There will be a rehearsal at 10:00.  NBC-TV is planning to cover our

appearance here.

Lunch will be provided after rehearsal.

SeaWorld: The whole band will go to SeaWorld after lunch.

Dinner will be provided after SeaWorld

The show is on Saturday night

We will return to USC after the show.

 

To sum up, that's 4 meals, time in the Gas Lamp District, overnight

accommodations with your friends, an afternoon at SeaWorld as perks for

making this trip.  Sounds pretty good to me!
