Rock River Jazz Band, Inc. is a 501c3 charitable organization whose mission is to see that the great music from the 1940s, including Swing, and Jazz,continues and to continue the tradition of a full Big Band. We provide free concerts in pleasing outdoor settings that are family friendly. Our set up is generally 5 saxes, 3-4 trombones, 4-5 trumpets, and a 3 piece rhythm section consisting of bass, keys and drum set. We provide an outlet for musicians that want to continue playing big band and jazz music from high schools, universities and various communities. We often have sub players who are currently in music programs sit in with us to supplement their experiences, giving them the opportunity to rehearse and perform with experienced musicians. We have musicians who have been performing on their instruments for over 60 years and as little as 7 years. We cannot put on these concerts without sponsors and donations. We were able to schedule 7 concerts this year between Dixon, Il. Page Park bandshell and Rock Falls, Il. RB&W Park Stage. We are in the process of checking pricing for an improved sound system so we can adequately mic our band and have a system that provides a proper set up for vocalists. Our current system cannot handle more than 3 mics or a monitor system. If you would like to donate to this cause, please visit our website where you will find our sponsor categories and information for sending donations.We are not opposed to previously owned sound systems if you know of someone who has upgraded and would be willing to sell or giveaway their old system, the value of which would be tax deductible. If you have any questions, you can pm me here or email me at cathyjames76@yahoo.com I am a board member and founder of the Rock River Jazz Band, Inc. and we are compliant with all filing obligations as required. I can also provide oir EIN. Number. www.rockriverjazzband.com
