      Dear Jazz Band Parents,

      Our trip to the Reno Jazz Festival is this coming Friday and Saturday, April 24 - 25.  The schedule is below, and the permission slip is attached.

      We have a few last-minute details on the budget, so you can expect the budget information in the next day or so.  The expected cost per student is approximately $80, including Festival admission and hotel.  

      Please provide your student with additional money for dinners on Friday and Saturday, as well as breakfast and lunch on Saturday.  Meals will be at the hotel casino (not extravagant but also not cheap), downtown Reno or at the University of Nevada (reasonable).  Packing a lunch for Friday is a good idea, or you can provide extra money to buy lunch in Reno that day.

      Please turn in the permission slip and a check made out to DHS Band Boosters (with the amount that will be given to you shortly) before the start of the trip.

      Carpool and chaperone information will also be provided shortly.

      For those who have not attended this Festival in the past, consider coming.  There will be two days of excellent performances by leading high school and college bands and combos, in addition to Friday's evening concert.  The competition schedule is at:  http://www.unr.edu/rjf/pdfs/RJF%20Competition%20Schedule.pdf

      Note that I still have a single one-day pass for Friday (including the evening concert) available for the advanced-purchase group rate of $15.  Contact me at matlockpeter at yahoo.com if you are interested.

      Best regards, Peter
