From the General Manager...
Hi everyone, thanks for checking out the WAYJO
website.
2010 has been an exciting year for WAYJO, and especially for me as I commenced as the new General Manager in January this year.
WAYJO has a strong and proud history and I want to not only maintain the incredibly high standards of musical leadership, but also continue to increase the levels of professionalism and musicianship that WAYJO members have when they leave us to enter the music industry.
WAYJO launched its new band, the Summer Ensemble, with an inaugural performance at the Perth Zoo on Valentine's Day playing with the ever-entertaining Kate Ceberano, as well as a twilight performance at Lake Jualbup as part of the popular Sunset @ Subi music series.
Every WAYJO band has already performed this year and I am very pleased to say that they all sound fantastic. The Composers Ensemble played at the Joondalup Festival and the Big Band and Swing Band both performed for Live and Swingin' with the Swing Zing dancers in Leederville.
One of our biggest initiatives for 2010 is to build a stronger relationship with past members - the WAYJO alumni. We have already begun to make contact with many of WAYJO's past students but we need your help too to spread the word. So if you know of anyone who has been in WAYJO over the past 26 years, please encourage them to contact us either by email or on our Facebook page. We'd love to hear from them.
The Friends of WAYJO program (previously the Memberships) has also been revitalised and we are regularly adding more and more benefits with discounts to performances and WAYJO merchandise as well as special offers from a host of local businesses and arts organisations. For an annual fee of just $35, it's great value. If you would like to support WAYJO by becoming a friend please click on the Friends tab on this website. We are also offering a Life Friendship now for only $500.
I am very interested in hearing from anyone who loves WAYJO and would like to be a part of this energetic organisation as we charge towards the future. Please feel free to contact me at the WAYJO office at anytime.
Best wishes
