Bill Amey

The word "jazz' is used to describe multiple types of music. Along with standard forms of jazz, some music from the commercial and pop sectors can be performed.

Our organization can provide the necessary sound and lighting for groups of up to approximately 600. Stage, risers, and electrical power will remain the responsibility of the venue.

A secure and private area will be needed for performers' items and peripheral equipment and cases.
