This week has had its ups and downs. Everyone I speak with says that this is a good idea. I guess the devil is always in the details. I've received some great advice from people I admire and who are involved in music and the promotion of music. I think the key is to continue to pray and seek guidance.
Cherryholmes and Mountain Heart have given me dates for which they are available in Sept/Oct. Both bands have expressed a desire to help this cause and I have an understanding for the expenses they incur when traveling and performing. At this point, I need a venue. I have asked Rockbridge Church if they would be interested in supporting this event by allowing the event to be held in their facility (Wink Theater). The problem is that it really needs to be on a Saturday night in Dalton and this conflicts with set-up for their Sunday service. I respect this point.
I have since gone back to the trade center and they are working up a bid proposal. I should have it on Monday for review. I also will need to go back to each band to see if they are available on a saturday night in Oct.
I expect that I will have everything next week to make a formal proposal to the DOC-UP board of directors. If they accept it then I will be in a position to make a formal offer to the bands.
Thinking ahead - We will need help with promotion, printing, sponsorship, ticket selling, event coordination, hospitality.
This will be a community event and I will need the full support and resources of the people in Dalton and Whitfield County.
Stay tuned and God Bless
