Join us at the Summit School of Traditional Music and Culture for a summer filled with music-making and fun!  Summer camp for kids ages 8-13 begins July 18th and ends July 22nd.  Students will pick from a number of music and dance classes with some of Vermont’s best musicians and teachers.  Kids will get a chance to play music independently, and together.  Campers explore new instruments and new ways to make music with their body, hands, and voices.  We hope the session will build friendships, individual character, and personal strength by exploring music together.  Call 802-917-1186, or visit our website: www.summit-school.org for more info.  Cost is $300, payment plans available and family discounts available.  Location is in Montpelier at the Summit School on Barre Street.

Tickets are $15 at the door, or $12 in advance. To reserve advance tickets, call 1-877-FIDDLE-1 and leave a clear message with your name, phone number and number of tickets desired, by May 12.

FINAL RECRUITMENT FOR THE 2011 YOUNG TRADITION WEEKEND SHOWCASE CONTEST

The Showcase Contest at Waterfront Park in Burlington is the focus of the annual Young Tradition Weekend, which also includes a Friday afternoon school assembly, a Friday night family and contra dance with the Mad Robin Callers Collective with David Boulanger and Paul Marchand at Edmunds School, and a Saturday afternoon awards reception featuring the Windborne Trio, Mediha Jusufagic and the Bosnian Lilies and others at Union Station near Waterfront Park.  The showcase contest starts at about 10am and finishes by 3pm on Saturday May 14th.   Young singers, players and dancers perform 2 or 3 numbers solo, or in duos or groups.  Prizes include showcase performances at concerts and festivals (Champlain Valley Folk Festival, Dance Flurry, Festival Memoire et Racines, First Night! Burlington, New World Festival and more), cash ($1000 for 1st, $500 for 2nd, $250 for 3rd, $125 for 4th), camp scholarships, and more.  There are only 20 slots available, and most are already reserved…..  contact us now if you’re interested.  Other contestents include Benjamin and the Nogoodniks, Sarah Buteux, Ceol Millis, Roland Clark and Sam Bronner, Tom Conlogue, Jaden Gladstone, Mairead Holt, the Irregulars, Jeh Kulu Junior, Alya MacManaway, the McFadden Academy of Irish Dance, Jan Monteagudo-Meese, the Heather Morris Celtic Dancers, the Sap Run Fiddlers, Sarah Blair students, Te-am Murphy Whiteley and others.  We try to present things that are either directly related to or inspired by what is generally considered folk and traditional music or dance….. but if you think it fits, it probably does.  Previous 1st place winners are welcome to apply, but they must return in different group combinations and/or present a different genre of music or dance than the year they won.  Prospective performers who have not participated in the past should contact Mark Sustic at mrksustc@together.net or Young Tradition Weekend, PO Box 163, Fairfax, VT 05454.  We seek a balance of genres, instruments used, and traditions presented, etc. (i.e. not just fiddlers, dancers, singers, etc.).

FINAL RECRUITMENT FOR THE 2011 YOUNG TRADITION WEEKEND SHOWCASE CONTEST

The Showcase Contest at Waterfront Park in Burlington is the focus of the annual Young Tradition Weekend, which also includes a Friday afternoon school assembly, a Friday night contra dance with David Boulanger and Paul Marchand at Edmunds School, and a Saturday afternoon awards reception featuring the Windborne Trio and others at Union Station near Waterfront Park.  The showcase contest starts at about 10am and finishes by 3pm on Saturday May 14th.   Young singers, players and dancers perform 2 or 3 numbers solo, or in duos or groups.  Prizes include showcase performances at concerts and festivals (Champlain Valley Folk Festival, Dance Flurry, Festival Memoire et Racines, First Night! Burlington, New World Festival and more), cash ($1000 for 1st, $500 for 2nd, $250 for 3rd, $125 for 4th), camp scholarships, and more.  There are only 20 slots available, and most are already reserved…..  contact us now if you’re interested.  Other contestents include Ceol Millis, Roland Clark and Sam Bronner, Jaden Gladstone, the Irregulars, Alya MacManaway, the McFadden Academy of Irish Dance, the Heather Morris Celtic Dancers, and the Sap Run Fiddlers.  We try to present things that are either directly related to or inspired by what is generally considered folk and traditional music or dance….. but if you think it fits, it probably does.  Previous 1st place winners are welcome to apply, but they must return in different group combinations and/or present a different genre of music or dance than the year they won.  Prospective performers who have not participated in the past should contact Mark Sustic at mrksustc@together.net or Young Tradition Weekend, PO Box 163, Fairfax, VT 05454.  We seek a balance of genres, instruments used, and traditions presented, etc. (i.e. not just fiddlers, dancers, singers, etc.).

Craobh Rua

Sunday April 10th at 3pm

in the Billings North Lounge at the University of Vermont in Burlington

Craobh Rua (pronounced ‘crave roo-ah’) translates from Irish to ‘red branch’, a name that is well known in Celtic history from the Red Branch Knights of Ulster.  The group’s Belfast-based musicians Brian Connolly, Jim Rainey, Conor Caldwell, and Aaron Hagan have toured throughout the world, including the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Asturias, Belgium, Poland, Slovenia, Denmark, Norway, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.  They are regarded as one of the finest ambassadors of Irish traditional music, impeccable musicians performing songs and tunes using an array of instruments…… tenor banjo, mandolin, fiddle, uilleann pipes, tin whistle, and guitar.  For more information about the group, visit www.craobhrua.com

Presented by Young Tradition Vermont and the UVM Old Time Music Club.  Support provided by Culture Ireland.  Contact mrksustc@togehter.net

Mariachi Los Camperos
The world’s premier mariachi band!
Sunday April 3rd at 7pm
at the Flynn Center for the Peforming Arts in Burlington
With two trumpets, four fiddles, Mexican harp, guitarron (six-string bass guitar), and vihuela (five-stringed rhythm guitar), the 2009 Grammy Award-winner celebrates the Mexican Bicentennial with jaw-dropping instrumental and vocal brilliance in ‘Viva Mexico!’ The concert tells the story of Mexican independence through mariachi favorites including Viva Mexico, Mexico Lindo, La Bamba, Ave Maria, La Cucaracha and many more, and celebrates history through rich cultural stories. Led by the esteemed mariachi innovator Natividad ‘Nati’ Cano—who was honored with the National Endowment for the Arts’ Heritage Fellowship—Mariachi Los Camperos features the finest mariachi musicians from Mexico and the US.

Thanks to everyone who made the commitment to be available today.  I’ve proposed some dates and times for meetings later in this message.  Am trying to schedule a meeting this coming Wednesday at 4:30pm (location TBA, in Burlington) so we have the chance to talk before the Kelly presentation next Wednesday morning……. so far Joe, Nancy, maybe Alison, maybe Mary, myself, and Mason (new person in the area who’s interested in YTV) can be there on 3/16 (7:45am to about 9am at Champlain College).

I’m sending several documents as e-mail attachments (i.e. not here), things to see and react to as needed, but no response expected……  an updated YTV powerpoint, which lists the foundations/things to keep in mind (meeting summaries, quotes, power point, mission statement, etc.), lists of past and coming events, and a budget report.

Note the quote I added from Lauren Breunig (member of Windborne Trio, 1st place winners of last year’s Young Tradition Weekend)……. ‘Young people who have an appreciation for where traditional music and dance has been and some control over where it is going will preserve what is great for the next generation.’  I love it!

The major focus for today’s meeting was to be the YTV marketing plan and the presentation to the Kelly Marketing Group on 3/16/11.  I’m sending an updated power point of the marketing plan we’ve discussed briefly before, as an e-mail attachment.  The Kelly Marketing Group www.thekelleymarketinggroup.org is a group of seasoned marketing professionals representing business and non-profits throughout the Champlain Valley. They meet the third Wednesday of every month from 7:45am to 9:00am in the S.D. Ireland Center for Global Business and Technology building at Champlain College, advising non-profit organizations on a pro bono basis about marketing so that they may thrive and make our community a better place.  Joe got us in the rotation, and its a tremendous opportunity on getting us on better footing related to marketing.  I’m also sending a power point developed by someone associated with the Kelly group, titled ‘Hall Marketing’.  This was going to be the focus of our meeting today, intended as a guide for us to prepare for the 3/16 meeting.   Assuming we can schedule a meeting this Wednesday, we’ll still have the chance to focus on it before the presentation.  If you can’t come to the planning meeting, hopefully on Wednesday, OR the Kelly presentation, it would be useful for those of us who are going to be there if you were to think about and give us some of your thoughts related to answering the 5 questions in the power point…… 1) Where are we now?; 2) Where do we want to be?; 3) How do we get there?; Which way is best?; and 5) How do we ensure safe arrival?

There are a few actions that the board needs to take, some of which can be addressed at the next board meeting (proposed dates and times coming).

One is the need to schedule some trade name/activity specific planning meetings.  Events for Tom, Fiddleheads, Tom Sustic Scholarship, Young Tradition Weekend, Trad Camp, and Old Time Festival are the major activities for YTV, and I was going to propose having a regular (or as close as I could get to regular) meeting, like maybe weekly….. one week dealing with Trad Camp, another with Young Tradition Weekend, another with the Scholarship Fund, etc. (or perhaps doubling up and focusing on 2 activities).  We’d still need the usual YTV board meeting, but it wouldn’t need to focus on the logistics of all these events….. that would be taken care of in the more regular planning meetings.  My schedule is as big a challenge as anyone’s, but I was thinking I could often make Mondays in the late afternoon/early evening happen.  The action that’s needed is endorsing this as a doable plan (or not), and then linking yourself up with one or more (hopefully more) of the activities, the meetings you would be part of.  Assuming it might be doable, I’ll try to get some dates out to everyone linked with these activities……  so let me know what you think.

The other action that’s needed is responding to a proposal from the Northeast Heritage Music Camp www.northeastheritagemusiccamp.com to receive and distribute funds for a scholarship that would support young people attending the camp each summer.  After talking with Ken Perlman and Pete Sutherland about this (they are both keen on making it happen), I was worried about the amount received taking us over the threshold for tax reporting (if we transact less than $20,000 per year, we don’t have to do a major tax report….. over that amount and we do)…… a quick review of the budget suggests that we’re probably okay on that account.  Assuming we decide to do it, we’d have to possibly put a limit on the amount we would receive and distribute, and be clear about the distribution of the scholarships….  i.e. we would not just be a flow through for the NHMC, we’d have some role in deciding who would get the scholarships…… which got me to thinking…… we could ask that one of the prizes for the annual Young Tradition Weekend be a scholarship, which would come out of these same scholarship funds, thus being more directly tied to what YTV is trying to accomplish.  Let me know what you think, and I’ll take it from there.  I may ask again if I haven’t heard…… I know they have to figure out what to do with some existing contributions (a concert Pete did at Middlebury College last month benefited the fund).  I’ve also responded to Ken’s request that we take over the presenter role previously held by River Arts for the annual faculty concert by suggesting it be a benefit for the scholarship fund.  I’ll keep you posted on that.

There are several requests board members I was going to make at the meeting, listed here….. nothing new really, just the usual ‘this would be helpful’ and things board members of organizations like YTV often participate in….. let me know what  you could do individually to help with any of the following…..

  • Forward/print and post event notices and posters to e-lists, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
  • Helping out at some (not all!) events (selling tickets and recordings, documentation, emceeing, passing out flyers, set up/clean up, emceeing, sound, stage lighting, etc.)
  • Researching some presenting partner ideas
  • Researching some grant/sponsor ideas
  • Writing a grant/requesting a sponsor

We do need to schedule a next board of directors meeting, when we can do the general business of the board.  I’ll list a few options that work for me here…..let me know if any work for you and then I’ll confirm something, reserve a space, or try another round of options…..

  • 3/21 5 to 7:30
  • 3/23 4:30 to 7
  • 3/24 4:30 to 7
  • 3/31 4:30 to 7
  • 4/4 4:30 to 7
  • 4/6 4:30 to 7
We also need to schedule our annual meeting (September), but can leave that for a future meeting.
There are a variety of topics that would have been on the agenda for today but for the focus on the Kelly presentation…… these would be some part of our next meeting, whenever it is…..
  • 2011/2012 budget
  • Grants to write
  • Fundraising projects
  • Board member recruitment
  • Web hosting costs
  • Liability insurance
  • Intern recruitment
  • National Folk Festival
