UNFINISHED BUSINESS Open Mic Night at Springyale I September 6 The group discussed the revamped event planned for Friday, September 6th on the new pavilion at Springvale. After discussion over the event start time, it was agreed that performances will start at 7:30 PM and end at 10:00 PM. Keith noted that the high school football game will be starting at 7:00 PM, so the traffic on Butternut Ridge Road should be mostly cleared out by the time the event begins at 7:30 PM. He also noted that the new stadium's lower elevation will avoid sound interference from the band during open mic performances. James will contact Springvale staff to gather information on tables, chairs and bar accommodations for the pavilion and check on clubhouse availability in the event of inclement weather. Laura will seek a host that is able emcee the event and operate the sound system. She has several musicians in mind who run successful open mic night events around the area and can likely offer both services. It was agreed by all that the budget for a combined host and sound person should not exceed $300. Wilma asked about leaving performance slots open for walk-up performers, with the group deciding to continue booking acts ahead of time to control the quantity, quality and diversity of performances.
