UW- L JAZZ FESTIVAL
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1) Upon your arrival at UW-L, only the director should enter the Cartwright Center
to register. 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 East Avenue in the circle drive in front of the building, 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.
Storage rooms are availble 1 hour prior to your warm up time and will need to be vacated after your performance time. Please be sure to inform your bus driver of the times you
need to load/unload. UW-L is not responsible for the equipment or anything left in the room while it is in use. Your students should keep their valuables with them.
4) We provide the following equipment in each performance venue and request you use it and not your own. It will make it easier on your group and on our staff to keep things on schedule.

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.
10) 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.
