BAND NAME: Paul Vesco Band
SATURDAY, 9/28/2024 JOB STATUS: FIRM
LOCATION: JW Marriott, Marco Island, FL
ROOM NAME: Grand Ballroom
DOCKS TIME: 2:00 SETUP BY: 6:00 REHEARSAL: none set at this time
SETUP DETAILS: DETAILS ARE FULLY ACCEPTED BY CLIENT AND THIS IS A FIRM JOB!
They will be sending contract back within the week.
=========================
This is our Arizona client. We have worked for them 4 previous times (including Arizona) and this is a VERBAL FIRM job. Contract issued today.
Anyone driving with one other person will get $50 for gas expense. Drive two others and get $100.
Timeline:
8:30 PV car/trailer leaves house with Paul, Barb, Mark and Sam-Bab. No additional riders because we are staying overnight. Will stop on way for quick lunch.
2:00 docks for Paul, Sam-Bab, Mark, Barb
3:30 docks for Bass, Drums
4:30 keys and guitar READY TO PLAY
5:00 horns READY TO PLAY and vocalists ready to sing**
** Since we have veteran singers on this job, I may be able to eliminate vocal soundcheck. However, I may be requesting vocalists have one or two new songs to be determined. Band can rehearse as long as the singers have the songs under their belt. If that is the case, singers can be there at 6:00 for dinner, or if they want, as late as 7:00 (and no guarantee of dinner). This will be up in the air until I have final requests from client.
6:00 finish setup and band dinner
7:00 light jazz and single piano for client dinner
8:00 to midnight band
12:00 load-out
PLAY TIMES (subject to change): 7:00 doors with light jazz. 8:00pm awards then to midnight with breaks
