in April there was a Live Auction event at a local Club with likely 200 people in attendance. mostly parents, relatives, friends, teachers, and band members. it's a fund-raiser for the band to help with trip expenses for low income band members, and instruments for low income band members, and other band expenses. having a jazz band in a High School costs money....most of which needs to be contributions. really a first class event i attended last year but not this year. the band also finds a nationally known Jazz luminary to attend and play as an added attraction.there are many types of things auctioned, one of which is this Night of Music and Food. last year they ended up auctioning 2 different nights for $500 each. this year it was one night for $2700. this dollar amount is a contribution from the winners. and it happens to be one of the groups from last year....and trust me, they had a great time. so did i and Jazdoc and our wives.
as far as how the winners view the $2700 and how they rationalized it, i have no idea. but obviously they saw the value somewhere for it. i was not present for the bidding but i'm told there was much interest.
as far as value for the $2700....you have not been to my room......or witnessed Jazdoc's jazz and music knowledge on display. :-)
my wife has always said i should charge admission.
stereo not 'cool'?....hardly!!!
