To begin with, our team is full of enthusiasm when it comes to art events, and spending the weekend in the theatre will be worth more than any other type of relaxation during the work-free days. However, it is important to determine the concrete event, day, and different types of specifications so that the whole team will be informed about the plan. Finally, it is crucial to specify the budget because many summer activities are unfairly priced. In addition, the company might lose a significant amount of money while the team will have a common weekend activity that is not worth such expenses.
The Place of Event
First and foremost, the chosen event occurs in Newport, USA. The vast majority of people in our team voted for the festival that takes place there so that the type of art event was more important for team decision than where it occurs. The event is named “Newport Jazz 2021,” and the team decided to attend a special jazz festival’s program –– he jazz gallery all-stars, which is expected to be played on Sunday, the first of August (Newport Jazz Festival, n.d.). The festival is played in many places, but we have chosen the open-air variant due to COVID-19’s possible restrictions.
Artists and Their Accomplishments
Second, there are many interesting musicians that are important to be listened to during a life-music concert. For instance, Jaleel Shaw, who is one of the best alto saxophonists not only today but also in the whole jazz history. Being born in Pennsylvania, U.S. in 1978, he started his activity at 2002 by receiving the Master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music. In 2005, he released hid first album, and from that time, it was impossible to catch him on a concert in the USA that occurred on the “big scene.” Shaw was one of the most interesting young musicians who knew not only how to play a qualitative music but also how to compose it properly. However, his last solo album was released in 2013, and after that time, he is a constant member of the Mingus Big Band and the Roy Haynes Quartet, which only enforces the wish to listen to him at the real-time festival.
The other interesting example of our team’s favorite musician is Joel Ross, who is one of the most unusual famous artist these days. Many people adore listening to his music at the lunch time owing to the relaxation and energy fulfilling effect of such compositions (Ross, n.d.). He is one of the youngest representatives of this festival, and that is why he is an interesting musician for us. Ross has already “grown up” on popular and qualitative jazz compositions so that the whole team could find something interesting that was already played by somebody, but with another sound and speed.
Trip Costs and Rationale of Attending the Festival
Turning to the whole expenses on the weekend trip, this takes relatively less efforts and expenses to attend this festival, comparing to the evening Flamenco in American theatre. This is owing to the fact that the other option requires serious emotional settling and has a relatively high cost of tickets. Newport jazz festival tickets start from 20 and ends up at 200 dollars for one ticket. We decided to buy the cheapest version of them due to attending only one event which lasts from 3 to 5 hours.
Production costs that require taking two-way bus might be relatively less comparing to the cost of ticket so that 10 dollars would be the highest possible sum for one-way trip. The total expenses would be settled approximately around 4000 dollars, or 40 dollars per person. As a rationale, there were many arguments presented already. However, the most important goal for attending the event is that many jazz stars that we are listening during the workday as a background music will appear on the same place for 4 hours. Due to this fact, our team is desirable to pass the whole Sunday by speaking about jazz music and discussing what musician was the hardest to be distinguished in the real world.
