Help the Chicago Bass Ensemble
No doubt, at some point since you first visited this website, you have wondered, "When am I going to be able to hear the Chicago Bass Ensemble perform live?" In fact, our web host statistics package has made a statistical analysis of your thoughts while reading these pages, and predicts that 7.2% of visitors to the site have woken up in the middle of the night with a brilliant idea about where the group should perform.
Here's your chance to help us, and at the same time, relieve yourself of any guilty feelings you have about not helping us prior to this.
Below is a list of organizations that I've tentatively identified as ones that might host a performance by the group: that is, they have a facility or sponsor a performance series that might be appropriate. I would like to send a demo CD and information to these organizations. But not really to "the organizations," I really need to send to a person at these organizations. It is so much easier to follow up with a person rather than an organization!
But I don't know people at these organizations. Perhaps you do. Click on the name of any one of these organizations to send me an e-mail, and tell me who you suggest I send a demo to.
And if you have other suggestions, send those suggestions to me. Don't forget a contact person, if you know one.
CBE To-do list. 1) Send demo to people(who?! I need names!) at these organizations:
One Other Great Idea
Here's one other great idea. Let's get people in the performing arts to take over LinkedIn!
MySpace is fine in a sort of rock'n'roll / subculture way, but it's more about being fly than actually about getting business done. LinkedIn is (forgive me if I sound stuck up) more grown up than MySpace, and really has some tools for managing and utilizing your network, with less clutter. Let's take over LinkedIn! Get yourself a LinkedIn account (the free version will do fine) and start building your network of performing arts contacts. Consider making me, Jacque Harper, a contact - but remember that contacts are only useful if they really are people who know you.
