" The only thing that is constant is change"

There have been some major changes made to the mission statement of the LVJBS. It has always been our mission statement to.."Host at least one jamband show a month - attended and supported by the LVJBS members and friends." It has become a situation where there are not enough members and/or friends of the society who are attending and volunteering to help produce these shows to support them. We would love to do all free shows and be happy with breaking even on events, but there are expenses which come along with the shows despite the small volunteer staff who produces them. We have many incidentals like insurance costs, equipment up-keep and repair, feeding and housing the bands etc.

That being said.. the LVJBS members and Board of Directors unanimously voted not to do any more monthly shows. We are going to only be hosting FOUR events this year. Each event will be held along with the 4 seasons. One event each will be held in Spring Summer, Fall, and Winter. We had 28 people at our monthly meeting agree to paying this year's dues and to help with putting on at least 1 of our 4 shows this year. BTW...we have everyone's name from attendance - so no backing out now !! We are going to break down the group of 28 into 4 groups of 7 people. Each group will be responsible for producing and presenting their own show. Those 7 folks will decide on what band they would like to have play "their LVJBS event" and where it is held. Greg will still be handling the booking for the shows. If anyone who was not at the meeting would like to join up for 2005 and volunteer to help out with a show this year - simply click here to get in touch with Scott Conte -- the new VP for the LVJBS for 2005. He will put you in touch with one of the 4 groups of 7(or more) and their group leader. The groups were preliminarily selected at the LVJBS Jan. member meeting on Tuesday Jan. 4th at Moondoggies West - (7:30 pm)

BTW...The LVJBS hosts their monthly meeting the 1st Tuesday of the month - always at Moondoggies West (located at the corner of Rainbow & Oakey) - always at 7:30 pm.

HOST YOUR OWN JAMBAND EVENT IN LAS VEGAS
(we'll help)

If any LVJBS member or members really want to see their favorite jamband play Las Vegas -- you are more than welcome to host the show yourself. There had always been a standing unwritten rule that a member of the LVJBS would not bring in a jamband themselves in order not to compete with our events. Being we are only doing 4 events this year - there really is no competition. You would be responsible for securing the venue, payment of the band, housing the band, supplying meals and hospitality for band and crew, providing professional sound and lights, as well as staffing the event. The LVJBS sound equipment would possibly be available for a minimal rental fee. The stipulation the LVJBS would have is that we would have to approve of the folks who would be moving, setting up and running the LVJBS' PA equipment. Contact Greg in the Booking Dept. for assistance in helping book the event. I'll ge glad to help.

So there's the new direction we have taken. Any questions ...please FEEL FREE as Jay Brice would say --- to contact your new LVJBS Officers for 2005:

Rudy Jalio - President
Scott Conte - Vice-President ()
Paul Welliver - Secretary
Dan Rugotzke - Treasurer ()
Michelle Frederickson - Mayor ()
