I guess I read that too fast. I see what it says now.
That isn't a bad idea but if that is what comes out of this it would have to be large enough to be worth while. A small showcase wouldn't generate much cash for the fund.
Something of that nature would have to be done on a bit larger scale and should involve as much media attention as possible, solicitation of business for donations either for raffles or cash, 50-50 drawings and many other things that I am not sure would go over well in just a couple hour showcase.
For something we would be putting the JPF name on should be of some substance. I would like this showcase to be for friends and families to come and see the performers without feeling obligated to contribute to a cause. There is nothing saying we can't do two shows a few weeks apart. I would like to put this on the table at the next JPF meeting. Also, we would all have to agree where any funds raised would go, i.e the Red cross, a gerneral Hurricane relief fund at a local bank, etc.
I am all for helping this cause; God knows those people need anything and everything they can get. I am sure our members would love to play at more than one event. I know I would play them if there were there to be more than one.
Let's have some feed back folks.

I would like two shows. The regular showcase that I am heading up and a larger Hurricane relief fund show.
This showcase that I am going to put together will be for solo, duo or trio performers mostly as I am going to provide the PA and I cannot accomodate full bands. Bands will be welcome but they would have to provide all their own equipment. I cannot mic drum kits or amps.
I am also providing lights for the show.
Okay enough rambling! Lets see what kind of feed back we get and go from there.
Thanks all,
Jim
