The proposed program will include the Max Bourjon Band on Sunday, September 21 and the U.S. Navy Band and the Studio S Dancers on Saturday, September 20. If the Navy Band is selected, they may also be able to play on Saturday morning at the Climate Best Fest. Cost of the Max Bourjon Band will be $1,600 and the Navy Band would be approximately $4,000 which could be funded from the FY96-97 and the FY97-98 budgets. The Navy Band also needs 10 to 11 hotel rooms for their overnight accommodations and possibly the band could offer a big band dance at the hotel they are staying at.
