Jazz Jubilee

Another Sacramento Jazz Jubilee is now history! We volunteered in the same place as last year - the Sheraton Grand Nave Ballroom. This year the location was sponsored by Bank of the West which had a "New Orleans jazz" backdrop for taking pictures and a huge bear they were raffling off. We didn't win the bear (thank goodness).

They also changed our assignment to serve drinks for the band and volunteers. I found that my bad back and stumbling gait made it impossible for me to carry drinks and painful to even walk around taking orders so I transferred back to "door monitor". It seemed to me that the crowds were quite a bit smaller than last year but its difficult to compare since we rarely have the same band in the same time slot from year to year and both band and time matter a great deal.

With company at our house, Tiffany's graduation, and all the required volunteer work we only got to a couple of other venues and then only on our breaks. It's years like this that make us wonder if we want to continue volunteering for the Jubilee. But we won't have to make that decision until next year now.
