Parents will concentrate concessions.ĩ:00 a.m. Our concession stand needs to be fully manned and tonight we have the students to take care of the trash. Day #2 of Jazz Festįriday is considered the true opening night and the crowd is about 6,000 by the end of the night.
Again, the more people that are there the easier it is for us to complete everything and get out of there.įriday, April 21st. and we should be wrapped up with trash and cleaning by 11 p.m. The concert will be over around 10:30 p.m. If you plan to help serve and take care of trash, plan to be there about 12 p.m. If you plan to help cook, I'll need you there about 9 am. Thursday is all about parent volunteers running the show and taking care of all our responsibilities. What truly sets Thursday apart from the rest of the weekend is that the students do not come. The primary difference this year is that an extra performance has been added and we will start serving food earlier than in years past. This year, we need to start serving at 1:30 p.m. Thursday is called the soft opening because the crowd is relatively light. You can sign-up to volunteer for Wednesday here.
#PANAMA CITY JAZZ FESTIVAL 2017 PLUS#
The time commitment for this day is about an hour on site plus driving to and from Pier Park. You will need a regular SUV or Truck and a tow hitch with 2" ball. I will take one but, if you have the time and a vehicle that can pull one, I would appreciate it. I could use help transporting our three large grills. I will go over and begin setting up our concession area and get us checked in. So, bring your sun block, big hats, sunglasses and your chair and spend the weekend with us! The parents have a blast cooking, serving and hanging out. So, how can you help? Sign-Up to work at our concessions stand or help the students with trash. The truth is, we need a lot of student and parent involvement. We serve Turkey Legs, Chicken WIngs, Sausage Dogs and Ribs along with other sides and snacks. While that task seems daunting, with team work, it seldom ever takes an hour.ĭuring all of this, our parent volunteers run our concession stand. Over the next 4 days, we will cook and serve of a about 1,000 pounds of food. As I've described to them, "It's like taking the trash out about 50 times a day." Also, at the end of the night, we are responsible for cleaning the entire venue. Our students are responsible for keeping about 30 large, rolling garbage cans emptied all day. So, what do we do at Jazz Fest? Well, we do a lot of things but our two primary jobs are to keep the garbage emptied throughout the venue and to run our concession stand. We are very close to reaching our goal of nearly $56,000.00 for new uniforms and this weekend will, hopefully, put us over the top. Yes, it's a long ride over and the hours are long but it's only 4 days and we make a great deal of money for our program. The Jazz Fest is held each April at Pier Park in Panama City Beach, FL. The Seabreeze Jazz Festival is billed as the Ultimate Weekend of Smooth Jazz but to the Navarre Raider Band, it is our Ultimate Weekend of Making Money each year!
