Commissioner Reports
Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band
Rehearsal space. Staff sent a confirmation back to Meridian Middle School to reserve the band
room beginning in April. Staff is awaiting final confirmation and a letter from Meridian providing
dates where the school will not be available.
For the summer, it was suggested that the Band makes inquiries regarding space for the band to
rehearse; confirmation should not be made - the Village must sign all contracts.
Miscellaneous Issues.
• Showboat will not be performed at the upcoming performance.
• BG Days parade. No costs should be expended for this performance. It was recommended
that performance at various community events should be approached as a good opportunity to
showcase the Band. However, it is not recommended that the Band march in the parade and
compete with high school and other professional bands that have extensive experience marching,
those that have uniforms, a grand presence, and flags/other visually appealing elements to the
band.
Upcoming performance schedule:
✓ Senior Expo, April 23, 2002. 10:00 a.m. Confirmed.
✓ Stevenson High School, April 28, 2002. 7:00 p.m. Confirmed.
✓ Rotary Concert Program, June 27, 2002. 7:00 p.m. $300.00. Confirmed.
✓ Park District Lawn Chair Lyrics (Tuesday — June/July). Waiting for confirmation.
✓ BG Days — Labor Day weekend. Inquiry inititated by staff. Waiting for confirmation.
✓ Performance with the Mt. Prospect Band. Waiting for confirmation.
4/28/2002 performance

Personality Profile. Surveys were distributed at the last Band meeting.
VIP location. Ghida spoke to the owner of Valentino's Vineyard in Long Grove. Following is an
update:
1) Wine label. Valentino has requested approval from the Department of ATF to obtain for a
Buffalo Grove wine label. The approval process takes approximately one month.
2) The following cost estimates were obtained for a Sunday afternoon or Wednesday evening VIP
reception: 50 people, $1124; 70 people $1580; 100 people, $2247.
3) It was suggested that in lieu of a VIP reception prior to the concert, we should coordinate a
,'music in the park" appreciation event at the Rotary concert. Sponsors, elected officials, and band
members will be invited to attend. Ghida will check with Rotary about the feasibility of this
suggestion.
Plaques for sponsors will be provided at the 4/28 concert.
