January 30, 2015
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased that you will be able to join us for the 36th Annual Dr. Lawrence R.
Sutherland Wind Festival to be held on the campus of California State University, Fresno on
Friday, March 22, 2015 through Sunday, March 22, 2015. Thank you for putting the event on
your schedule!
This memo will be followed by an email with an attachment. Some parts of the
attachment will need your immediate attention and must be faxed (or send as PDF
attachment to garygi@csufresno.edu) back to me right away at 559.278.6800. Other parts
(maps, etc) can be duplicated and distributed to your students and parents. The attachments will
come in the form of a pdf file. It may be possible that your institution’s email control will block
the emails/attachment from coming through. If you do not get the next email with an
attachment please go to our website (http://www.bulldogmarchingband.com) and look for the
pdf files there in the coming few days. Be sure you receive (via email or website download) the
following forms/maps:
1) Schedule
2) Band Observation Form (fax back right away to 559.278.6800)
3) Repertoire Form (fax back right away to 559.278.6800)
4) Percussion Use Form (fax back right away to 559.278.6800)
5) Stage Diagram/Seating Chart (fax back right away to 559.278.6800)
6) Map to Campus (with bus parking instructions – be sure to follow these!)
7) Map of Campus
Bus Drop Off, Parking and Pick Up: The Fresno State Parking Office is asking that we
use the drop off “bus cut-offs” in front of the University High School (modern chrome building
next to the Smittcamp Alumni House) for dropping off our students. Your drivers will need to
follow the directions onto our campus in order to have them facing the right direction to pull
into this new drop off area. Your bus should NOT enter the campus on Maple Avenue as in the
past. Please see the specific instructions (Map To Campus) and the Map Of Campus. Please
share these with your driver. Busses must park at the back of campus in the “Y Lot (also called
P11 Lot - see maps) and when you are finished, you will need to call your bus back to the
University High School “bus cut-offs” area to pick up your students. IF this area is clogged
with traffic when your bus arrives you should continue to the corner of Maple and Keats, turn
right into the new cul-de-sac and use that area for your drop off zone.
Check-in and Conductor’s Scores: When you arrive on campus the day of the festival,
please check in at the Band Office (M-138) in the New Music Building and turn in three copies
of each conductor’s score for each selection your group will be performing for the adjudicators.
Have Your Band Observe Other Bands: It is my hope that everyone attending the
festival appreciates the value of having our students listen to other bands. To that end, I am
asking that you have your band in attendance at least two (or three) other band performances
besides your own. This will hopefully ensure that all bands will have an appreciative audience
of other band students and their directors. Please examine the schedule, talk to your
transportation people and decide what your itinerary will be for the day. I ask that you let me
know what two or three bands you are planning to watch by completing and returning the
proper form. This is an important part of our festival and I thank you for your cooperation.
Stage Diagram/Seating Chart: There is a great website for creating seating charts for
your band and it is suggested that you use this website if you wish: http://www.bgreco.net/band/
Audience Admission Fees: Please encourage your parents and their friends to attend
your band’s performance at this prestigious event. One tickets is good for most of the
weekend’s concerts. There is a separate ticket for the Saturday evening GALA CONCERT.
Please see section below for that information. For all other festival concerts admission is first
come, first served and the prices are $7.00 General Admission and $5.00 for Seniors/Students.
Saturday Evening GALA CONCERT: As is tradition with the Dr. Lawrence R.
Sutherland Wind Festival, The Fresno State Wind Orchestra and one special guest band will be
featured in the Saturday evening GALA CONCERT. This year we are proud to share our
concert with Dr. Lawrence Stoffel and the CSU, Northridge Wind Ensemble. The concert
begins at 8pm and requires a special GALA CONCERT ADMISSION TICKET: prices are
$15.00 General Admission, $10.00 for Seniors and $10.00 for Students.
Performance Time Slots: When I have scheduled a specific time block for each band.
In this time block several things need to happen: 1) the stage crew will need to reset the
chairs/stands & percussion, 2) your band needs to come in and get seated and situated, 3) your
band will play all of their set, 4) you and your band will be honored and thanked publicly for
your attendance, and 5) your band needs to vacate the stage and move to the clinic room.
Therefore, please keep your musical selections from 10-15 minutes shorter than your
complete time block.
Again I thank you for deciding to join us for the 36th Annual Dr. Lawrence R. Sutherland
Wind Festival and I look forward to hearing your fine band. Please do not hesitate to call me if
you have any questions or concerns. Thank you very much!!
Sincerely,
Gary P. Gilroy, D.M.A.
