Letters from our clients
For all of our conventions with over 10,000 attendees, we have instituted a welcome program called We're Jazzed You're Here. Part of that program is to have New Orleans Brass Bands in baggage claim for the two heaviest days of arrival. This has been an enormous success, the attendees love the music and the instant festive atmosphere they get upon arrival in New Orleans. We faced a challenge with personalizing the bands for the convention attendee however, the bands walk around and couldn't carry a sign with them. Deanna Bernard of New Orleans Music Events books the bands for us. She came up with the brilliant idea of making a tuba cover with the convention's logo on it. The attendee and the meeting planner have loved this, Deanna handles the whole thing, it is her baby. After the band finishes, we give the tuba cover to the Meeting Planner as a memento.
The personalization of the tuba cover has further enhanced our welcome program for attendees and we are thankful to Deanna for that!
