<DIV>Looks like it's a good idea to get a hotel reservation pronto. If
anyone can send me a jazz band student list I can make a best guess at what we
need and secure that reservation..... just let me know. </DIV>

Hi Fred,<BR>> <BR>> I hope you are doing well. We finally have the Next
Generation Jazz Festival audition results back from our faculty judges at
Berklee College, and I am please to inform you that the Davis Senior High
School Jazz Band has been selected to participate as a finalist in the High
School Big Band Division for the NGJF next April 1-3. Congratulations to you
and the members of the ensemble.<BR>> <BR>> I will send you an official
letter of acceptance in the mail. However, in an effort to save paper, I will
be sending via email other important documents and information including the
results from our draw for warm-up and performance times, sign-up sheets for
additional performance venues, stage plot forms, etc. So that you can get
started with travel plans and make your room reservations for the event in
April, I have attached in this email a list of hotels located in the downtown
Monterey area. Please note that your group name has been sent to the staff at
our host hotel, the Portola Hotel and Spa, but that rooms there are available
on a first come, first serve basis. Included on the hotel list attachment is a
flyer with procedural information and a Code of Conduct from the staff at the
Portola Hotel. Please contact Sandy Ram at
sram@portolahotel.com<mailto:sram@portolahotel.com> or if Sandy is
unavailable, try Doris
Lopez-dlopez@portolahotel.com<mailto:dlopez@portolahotel.com> or call
her at 831 649-2688 to make your reservations. You should have a credit card
and your room requirements ready to go.<BR>> <BR>> Should you decide to
use the Portola Hotel, I can send you a room-list form which the staff at the
hotel require groups to use. 2011 NGJF room rates in our student block at the
Portola Hotel and Spa are $151 plus tax for participating ensembles, and for
general public the rate is $219 plus tax. Please let me know if you are
planning to stay there.<BR>> <BR>> As well, please be aware that we have
held a number of rooms at the Monterey Marriott which is also attached to the
Monterey Conference Center ($193 for any room plus tax). The Marriott requires
a two-night stay minimum.<BR>> <BR>> I知 happy to report that the Next
Generation Festival will continue to be free and open to the public for 2011
and requires no tickets or passes. However, new this year will be a Gold
Circle VIP seating made available for purchase for the Friday Night Judges
Concert. Tickets for this stage front area seating will be on sale for $50 and
includes a post-concert reception. More details on this will follow. By using
hotels/motels in the City of Monterey, you can help us to keep the event free
for the future. Please do not hesitate to contact me for help in obtaining
rooms or any other NGJF related matter.<BR>> <BR>> Finally, please take
a moment to reply to this email so that I know that you have received your
confirmation as a finalist. Once again my congratulations and I look forward
to hearing your fine jazz band at the Next Generation Jazz Festival!<BR>>
<BR>> All the best,<BR>> <BR>> Rob Klevan<BR>> MJF Jazz Education
