All-Cape Jazz Festival

 

         John Neu will contact Ned Rosenblatt to determine a date.  More publicity was suggested for a larger audience.  Discussion occurred regarding the need for the festival to be self-sufficient financially.  It was suggested by John Neu that the festival use the Junior Festival model and not bring in an outside conductor in order to save expenses.

 

Junior Jazz Festival

 

         George Machon organized a highly successful concert/festival in April at Sandwich.  Five schools were in attendance.  Again, more publicity would be appreciated.

By-Law Revision

         Fred recommends all read over the summer with revision in mind.

         LaVada Studley will receive any change recommendations via the web:

                  lsbasslady@aol.com

 

         A committee chaired by Fred Johnson is requested to meet 1/2 hour before the    September meeting to make recommendations.  Any volunteers?

 

         New revisions to be presented and voted upon at the February meeting.

 

Old Business

 

         ASCAP/Copyright Laws -  the law says do not copy and as an association we do not

         permit the use of copied music for auditions or festivals.  Issues regarding recordings

         were also discussed.

 

New Business

 

         New England Music Festival Association Concert in Connecticut in 2202-2003 is         scheduled on a different date this year - it is not the All-State weekend.  The South

         East District web site has a link to this association.

 

         It was requested that CCMEA discuss the high cost of student food for the All-Cape

         Festival at the September meeting.  It is felt that we need to cut costs somewhere.

 

         Fred Johnson was thanked for his years of service as President and he handed that

         title to John Neu.

 

         Next meeting:  Monday September 30, 2002 - DY High School - 7:00pm
