Chicago SHow Style Jamboree 2008

Thats what I want to call it! Having it the weekend of Jackie Robinson 2008 NOW!
Nothing is official yet. I have not even contacted anyone. But I have some folk in mind also Mrs. Lori James who help put together the BOTB before the classic. After Thanksgiving this plan of mine is going full steam ahead and I'm going to need your help

I'm going to try to enlist the help of Power 92, WGCI and Oprah...thats right Oprah!I want to put together a dvd featuring the BEST clips of some of the area high school bands and send it to these people. The event would take place at Gately. This will NOT be a BOTB...well not yet because that involves judges and trophies. Im thinking the event could go something like this:Bands show up Do field shows Dline showcasehave two bands meet on the field and battle(an idea only)Have all the bands form in the stands and play to the home side where the crowd will be and play a tune as one unit....leave that up to the band directors.
after that let them battle in the stands exit gately.Those are just ideas right now. I'm looking to include Chicago Bands: Julian Corliss KCP MP WCAB CVCA Dunbar
Kaotic as a guest drumline MAYBE:East and West Hillcrest(the only south burb band who really does marching in the spring)I have a wild Idea for you all as well! YOUTUBE.COM is our FRIEND!I was thinking that some of us could put videos on youtube and address them to WGCI, Oprah, Power 92, and Chicago Public schools, the News Media about supporting our cause. It's bold as hell but It would get maxium exposure. Or put them on DVD and send it to them!Let's start planning our attack in getting Chicago Style bands in Chicago an event to showcase your talent and being young African Americans(that always helps hehehehehe)If we want this to happen, to have a major event for the bands here instead of always going to the burbs, now is the time to act on it. IM SERIOUS! This plan of mine is moving forward after next week but Im going to seriously need yall HELP with Ideas and contacting people.
