Continued inadequate notice to the Community about cultural events puzzling
A great, “fun” community oriented program was offered Monday night on the Verde Campus at the Mabery outdoor Pavilion. The problem is that so few in the Community knew about it. Or if they knew about the program, had time to rearrange their schedule to attend the event. The result was an audience of about 40 (excluding the musicians).
The concert was given by the Mingus Union High School Jazz band, the Yavapai College Roughriders Jazz band, and the Yavapai College Trailblazers Jazz band. Those in the audience thoroughly enjoyed the concert.
However, notice about the event once again came very late. Whether it was an ad hoc decision made in Prescott to hold the concert or was an event planned earlier in the Spring is not clear. Anyway, until the Prescott run College gets it act together on how to give notice of cultural events to folks in the Verde Valley about these great programs so they can plan to attend them, they will continue to draw tiny a audience; or no one.
