UW- L JAZZ FESTIVAL
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1) Upon your arrival at UW-L, only the director should enter the Center for the Arts
to register. The lobby is small and becomes crowded quickly. You will be
assigned a student guide
who will assist you and your students to the unloading
and storage room areas.
2) Buses should unload on Vine Street, but may not park there. This is a no parking
zone.
All university lots on weekends are free of charge. Jazzfest is not
responsible for parking violations.
Busses should park along Badger
street. This street is closed to public traffic, busses only.
3) Storage rooms are for equipment only. These rooms will be locked at all times to
ensure the
safety of your school’s belongings. These rooms can only be opened
with permission of the director.
YOUR BAND WILL HAVE TO VACATE THE
STORAGE ROOM AFTER YOUR FINAL PERFORMANCE
SO THAT ANOTHER
BAND MAY USE IT.
Please be sure to inform your bus driver of the times you
need to load/unload.
4) No loitering is allowed in the hallways. The hallways become EXTREMELY
congested as performing groups move from one area to another. Please
encourage students to listen to other groups and attend the workshops.
5) There is absolutely NO SMOKING in any building on the UW-L Campus.
6) Food and drinks are not permitted in the performing area, storage rooms, or
rehearsal rooms.
They are allowed in the lobby areas only.
6.A) Food is available in the Cartwright Center "Cellar" (burgers, sandwiches etc.) and in the Galley (new for 2009) Pizza and Pasta Bar. Food service is from 10:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
7) Scores are not posted for other bands to view during the festival. Only the
highest scoring groups in each division will be announced after the clinic. The
top scoring groups in each division will be invited to play in the final concert.
Individual scores are available only to that group’s director at the end of the
clinics.
8) The Jazz Fest staff works very hard to keep everything running on time. Please
arrive on time and comply as close as possible with all schedules so that each
group may have their full time to warm-up and perform.
The Jazz Fest staff is here to make sure you are very comfortable.
If you need
assistance, feel free to ask any of the volunteers for information.
Thank you and enjoy your day at UW-L.
