Good Afternoon,
My fellow directors, the GCS Jamboree is getting close and we are excited to be hosting this on Monday. You should have received a couple of things from Nathan concerning the festival.
- 2011 Jamboree Schedule
- Map of School – SEHS – Updated 9-12-11
- Information that was gone over yesterday at the director’s meeting.
If you didn’t get this information, please contact me and I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
Here is something that I forgot to talk about yesterday at the meeting.
Pit equipment, pit trailers, and props.
- Pit equipment: we will have the SEHS pit equipment available for all of you to use at your preference. Our equipment will be set up on a pit trailers and you can use this equipment if you would like. If you want to bring your own, that is fine also. We are just trying to make it convenient for everyone. However, you will need to bring your own sticks, mallets, beaters, and auxiliary instruments.
- Pit trailers: if you plan to use your own pit equipment, we need to know how many trailers it is going to take to get your equipment from the bus lot to the field.
- Props: if you plan to bring your props, please let us know so that we can prepare a set-up place for you.
Please respond to me (not Nathan) the following information:
Pit equipment: Will you use the SEHS equipment or your own equipment?
Pit trailers: If you use your own equipment, how many trailers do you need to get from the bus lot to the field?
Props: Will you use your props?
Chaperones/Chaperone Passes.
Each band may use as many parents/pit crew members to help them get onto and off of the field as they deem necessary. However, only 10 chaperone passes will be given to each band to enter the jamboree once their band is done performing. Other chaperones will have to pay to get into the jamboree. Ex. If it takes you 40 parents to get on and off the field, that is fine, but only 10 of those can come back into the jamboree with their band for free. The other 30 must pay. I encourage you to pre-purchase tickets from Kids Voting to avoid the higher cost and so that your band will receive a percent of the proceeds from that ticket sale.
Trailer/Tractor Trailer/SUV’s.
If you are bringing your equipment in several SUV’s, please let me know so that I can send you passes to the bus lot for them. We are not allowing any cars past a certain point on the bus lane without a pass. The pass tells us that they are carrying equipment. If you bringing your equipment in a trailer or tractor trailer, this will not be a problem.
Again, we look forward to seeing everyone. If you didn’t get the above information sent from Nathan, please let me know and I will forward you anything you are missing. If you have questions, please feel free to give me a call or e-mail me. Thanks.
Jeremy Ray
