[Dhsbb-jazz] FW: NGJF results

[JazzyHorns at aol.com]

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.

Festival audition results back from our faculty judges at  Berklee College, and

> 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 at portolahotel.com<mailto:sram at portolahotel.com> or 
if Sandy is  unavailable, try Doris  
Lopez-dlopez at portolahotel.com<mailto:dlopez at 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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.

> 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!
