One of the council members is in a band and plays for free (we provide ice cream, last year it was pizza) he is also mentor to some Teen Bands, two of which played for an hour each last year for $75 each. The other bands, and we have had some really nice music (one was the 35 piece Centennial Community Band) have been associated with a resident Ms. Kathi LaValle, who plays in a variety of bands 7 CAT SWING and BBB Combo. These bands traditionally receive alot more than we are able to pay, but Kathi has been instrumental in trying to get the Music in the Park Program going and has accepted what we could pay. The bands received $350 each last year. I can take your information to the committee, but I don't think we can afford $500. Kim Stephan, City of Centerville Subject: Re: Summer music in the park series Hi Kim. $350 would be a little tough, but I think I could convince the guys to do $400 and ice cream or pizza. Do you think that would be possible ?? Kyle Dec 14, 2010 at 3:11 PM, Kim Stephan wrote: Possibly. Parks & Recreation meets the first Wednesday of each month. They make the decisions; I just gather information for them. Last year I scheduled and coordinated the events as they are a volunteer committee and I am paid staff. We are ahead of the game this year too getting going on planning well in advance. I will forward your information to them. We are trying to make this bigger and better each year but with budget cuts the committee only has $1500 to work with. We raised the money for the PA system through our 2nd Annual 8K Run/Walk. Subject: Re: Summer music in the park series Maybe we can talk again in January and see where we're at with the Park and Rec committee? Is there anything else I can offer to make it more attractive to them? We can easily do 90 minutes with no break. Let me know if you have any other questions for me, and I appreciate all your time in coordinating this. Kyle TRISHA & THE TOONIES I sent the following information to the committee members but received no feedback except from Chairperson Branch. On Dec 9, 2010, Kim Stephan wrote: I was doing some research for the idea the committee had of having one of the performances in 2011 be a Children's Band. They are expensive. As I was listening to videos of The Teddy Bear Band, the City Clerk suggested Trish & the Toonies. This is a band she uses every year at the Elementary School paid for with Score Funds as they have a whole ENVIRO -SHOW — GREEN EVENTS and SCORE Funds have to do with recycling. They also have a FAMILY FUN SHOW. Their fee is $750. If we combined the Family Fun Show with the Enviro Show, SCORE FUNDS could pay a portion as it's about recycling. We haven't asked Trisha yet, but Teresa thinks we could make it work with say 3/4 recycling and 1/4 family. The whole recycling show may not keep little kids interested. We thought it would be a great family event. Check out the following website: hllp: / /www.thetoonies.com/
