Tips for Your Day(s) at the Las Vegas Jazz Invitational Festival
Double-Check your performance time(s)
Prepare for your performance - Allow enough time for set-up, tear-down, and applause so that the total time on stage does not exceed 30 minutes. Scores are not necessary. We will be offering comments from the clinicians.
Encourage your students to attend the Educational Clinics and Concerts- We take great pride in the quality and diversity of our clinicians and feel that the clinics and concerts are an important aspect of the educational component of the festival.
Help us keep things moving smoothly and safely - Please follow the route your guide will set from the warm-up room to the performance site, then to the clinic room (if applicable).
Keep in mind what equipment is provided - There will be 25 music stands in each performance venue. Each performance site will have a piano; drum set/cymbals; vibes; bass and guitar amps, and congas. Keyboards will not be provided. To help keep things running smoothly, we ask that you use the equipment provided. Drummers may use their own cymbals.
Remember that volunteers are here to help you -Please let us help you with any special needs you have. Also, the sound engineers are there to help ensure a wonderful performance. If you need something from them, please let them know before or during your performance.
Video- The Las Vegas Jazz Invitational Festival will not be video recording group performances. If video is desired, please feel free to bring your own video recording equipment.
Cancellations - If, due to weather or other emergency you must cancel your appearance, please call (702) 799-7800 ext 4051 as soon as possible, before the festival.
