1 ge t involved... SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

2 Sponsorship time For 23 years, the Medicine Hat Jazz Society has been bringing JazzFest to the streets, clubs and concert halls of Medicine Hat. Throughout those years, we ve made a large contribution towards helping to shape the cultural climate of Medicine Hat and area. We bring artists from all over the world to our city, attract festival fans from across Western Canada and the northern US, inspire future generations of musicians, provide work for local musicians and bring a tap to the toe of local residents. Not only that, we bring hundreds of thousands of dollars in business to town that stimulates the local economy. We know that countless people from near and far plan their holidays around JazzFest. Last year, well over 6,000 people attended JazzFest events that included dance parties in the bus terminal parkade downtown, in an airport hangar and in the newly renovated Beveridge Landmark Events. We brought music to the streets, the Esplanade theatres and close to 20 clubs and pubs around Medicine Hat. We simply couldn t do any of this without the help of you, our sponsors. Thank you! And if you haven t yet become a sponsor... here s your chance!

6 the Word on the street... Alex Lefaivre Parc X trio - Montreal The Medicine Hat Jazz Festival was definitely one of the highlights of our Canadian Festival tour. We were blessed with a great audience that offered us a very warm reception in one of the best theatres I ve seen throughout the world. I also greatly admire Lyle Rebbeck s amazing work, proudly fostering a wide range of musical activities in his local community. Medicine Hat is lucky to have him and I wish we could bring him back with us to Montreal. John Roney - Montreal Best in the West! intelligent and brave programming, strong artistic vision. great people, and great vibe... very accommodating hospitality with hotels and travel... always friendly volunteers, easy access to administration (this helps ALOT!) and delicious HOME MADE food!!! yummmmm Eli Heath Frisson - USA Lyle and the entire team at the Medicine Hat Jazz Festival were some of the best hosts our group has ever experienced on the road. We felt extremely honored to have the opportunity to perform in a world class theater, to such an appreciative audience. Small festivals like this one play an extremely important role in expanding the reach of jazz to locations that would otherwise be inaccessible for the majority of artists, and we feel lucky to be a part of that.

7 ...is good Chelsea McBride Socialist Night School - Toronto It s so nice to play at a festival where everyone - from the audience to behind the scenes - is genuinely excited about and invested in the music and the musicians. Everyone took such great care of us and Medicine Hat was definitely one of the highlights of our tour! We would love to come back to that theatre, anytime! Lynn Olagundoye and Brothers of Okan CALGARY Our performance at the Medicine Hat JazzFest was of the best experiences my band and I have ever had! The team was organized, attentive and so accommodating. We definitely felt that we got 5 star treatment. Most importantly the festival patrons are outstanding. We had a lively audience that was ready and willing to participate, dance and sing along...we had a blast! We would be honored to play this festival again. Randy B Punch Drunk Cabaret - Dustbowl, Alberta Our first Medicine Hat Jazz Festival was beyond expectation this summer. Not only was the show professionally organized and produced, but the promotion leading up to the event certainly increased the public awareness for Punch Drunk Cabaret. Rarely does a festival knock the ball out of the park on all accounts. We would make a repeat performance in a heartbeat.
