CITY OF YAKIMA: By: R. A. Zais, Jr' City Manager Date' 0-4 /O ATTEST: City Clerk City Contract No. „ D©y'Jr8 Resolution No g -.209"(o 9 City of Yakima -Seasons Performance Hall Agreement Page 5of5 SEASONS PERFO MA CE HALL: By: 1/91W . ie Stros iness Manager Date: QL 30-(31 Exhibit "A" Specific program requested for funding The funding request is for a targeted promotional program to attract visitors to Yakima for Seasons annual Fall Festival, which in 2009 will expand in 2009 to also include wine and art events and displays. The Festival will take place during the crush period, and would be an added incentive for wine tourist to visit Yakima and return in the downtown district rather then venturing elsewhere. For the past three years the Festival has been building a local audience, but now that it has established a strong music tradition, it will conduct a concerted promotional campaign to catch the attention of outsiders, primarily on the Westside, a strategy that will not only build audiences but will be a community development tool. That is, the aim is to also will lure potential investors and convention goers to experience some of Yakima's assets, its downtown, local wineries, and emerging art community, as provide experiences that will give them a positive image of Yakima. By next fall many of the downtown projects will be completed, and the Festival will be a magnet to lure visitors to the renaissance that is downtown Yakima. Accordingly, the campaign will be developed and implement in consultation with Wine Yakima Valley, Yakima Valley Convention Center, and patemership for Downtown Yakima. Project Objective: The main idea of the project is implement a targeted promotional campaign aim primarily at business, civic, and cultural organizations, mostly from the Westside, to Seasons annual ten day Fall Festival with the objective of shinning the spotlight on Downtown Yakima ,area wineries and other assets to outside people (and local residents), creating the possibility of more outside investment coming into the area, further promoting wine tourism and the convention trade, and providing experiences that will change and/or enhance Yakima's image. Project Scope: Starting in March, 2009, an extensive campaign promoting the Festival and other Yakima assets will be conducted through a dedicated web site and targeted promotional work that will focus on business, civic and cultural organizations. Instead of a shot gun approach to the general public, the campaign will target those organizations that could make an impact on Yakima. The Festival, which will be conducted during the wine crush season, will be a one of a kind event. It will be one of the few music festivals in the Northwest featuring jazz, Latin jazz, classical, and world music musicians. It will consist of 10 days (two weekends) of music programming featuring national and regional musicians and singers, which will also include educational programs for youth and a space for musicians to create new music. It will be one of the few such festivals in the Northwest. Side by side with the 2009 festival will be wine tasting exhibits hosted by Yakima Valley wineries, as well as displays by local artist. It is expected that most of the visitors will be attracted to the (two) weekend programs. Justification -Need for Project: Downtown Yakima has gone through a remarkable transition in the last couple of years, and more is occurring. Valley wineries are creating award winning wines. A growing art community is emerging, and culture is becoming more a part of everyday life. But many people outside of Yakima (and even in Yakima) hold outdated images of Yakima or do not have any real image of the Valley. There is a need to change these images. Mere trips to cities by promotional teams and media stories are not enough to change deeply engrained images. Often it takes people to directly experience an area to discover its true image. One of the strategies used by other cities to lure people into their communities and discover its assets is music and cultural festivals. The timing is now right for Yakima to use this strategy. First, Yakima now has such a venue with Seasons annual Fall Festival, which will be expanded next year to include wine and art. Secondly, many projects in downtown Yakima that are now underway will 38 — Outside and Intergovernmental Agencies • Policy Issues be completed by then, giving the district an even more attractive face. Finally, Seasons has working relations with organizations .such as Wine Yakima Valley, Convention Bureau, and Partnerships for Downtown Yakima that will allow it to organize a more comprehensive Festival. This project is predicated on the belief that a targeted promotional campaign in the less expensive but more effective way of attracting visitors to the city. Project Activities: The major task will be developing promotional materials, including a dedicated website, and a system that will allow Seasons to target special audiences such as Westside business, civic, tourist, and cultural organizations. Seasons will solicit the input and assistance from local organizations, specifically, Wine Yakima Valley, Partnership for Downtown Yakima, and Yakima Convention Bureau. The major activities and timelines are as follows: 0. Selection of performers (and themes) for the Festival by the end of January, Development of wine and art activities event plan with input from Wine Yakima Valley, Partnership for Downtown Yakima, and Yakima Convention Bureau by the end of January. Possible events/activities could be wine tasting and art exhibits and events or displays that will entice people about investing or holding conventions in Yakima, and displays and/or exhibits that would entice investment in downtown Yakima. Development of promotional materials and creation of web site by the end of February. Web site goes on line first week in March. Website will also have links to various city assets. 0. Identification of business, tourist, civic, and cultural organizations to send materials and promote Festival. By end of February. Convention Bureau and Partnership for Downtown Yakima starts promoting festival on their webs site by end of February. 0. Mailing of promotional materials to targeted organizations starts first of March with follow up by Seasons staff with assistance of local organizations (Yakima Valley Convention Bureau, Wine Yakima Valley, and Partnership for Downtown Yakima). Once materials are disseminated, follow up activities will include phone calls, visits to key organizational people, and attending organizational\al meetings to promote the Festival. Results expected from project: The overall effects of the project will be a) to bring more wine tourist into the downtown district, b) attract business people that could be potential investors and/or convention goers, c) to help change and/or enhance Yakima's image, and d) putting Yakima on the map as a major music and cultural hub. It is expected that with a concerted promotion campaign the Festival will attract a significant number of visitors to Yakima during the time frame of the Festival that will have positive experiences. Since it is a targeted promotion campaign to help improve Yakima's image, it is expected that many visitors would be people who are in a position to make investment decisions or holding conventions in the city. Accordingly, there are objective methods and measures to document the success of the project, namely: 0. Responses from targeted organizations as to whether their members will visit Yakima for Festival, as measured by request for tickets 0. Increased attendance at concerts from previous years , and survey of audience to determine whether they are residents or visitors 0. Survey of hotels and local wineries to determine occupancy and traffic patterns from previous year 0.

It allowed The Seasons to transform a fledging program with a few outreach sessions, into a much larger and more systematic program that garnered support from other sources, reached over 1,500 students, and received a $25,000 grant to continue the program in 2009. One of our major goalswas to develop a regular, structured student outreach program conducted by professional musicians. With the $8,000 in hand, The Seasons was able to solicit $5,000 additional funds from foundation and private sources. Together, these funds enabled The Seasons to provide music sessions — a mix of master classes, clinics, and general "exposure," to over 1,500 mostly low income school children in 2008. Secondly, because of the program's success, the Yakima Community Foundation awarded Seasons a $25,000 grant for 2009. The program now serves both the upper and lower Valley and is partnered with the Yakima School of the Arts, Gear Up, and. YVCC music outreach program. A second goal was to help students improve their music skills by learning from professional musicians. This result occurred through seven sessions funded by the grant. Teachers prepared the students with background and relevant practice so they were primed to make the most of the exposure. They greeted the artists with questions, engagement, and enthusiasm. • On 4/24/08, Delfeayo Marsalis and his band conducted a 90 minute clinic for 400 Franklin Middle School Students. The clinic was a general introduction to jazz focusing on the basic music foundations - blues, call and response, improvising, etc. The school's music instructor coordinated the clinic and reported that his talks with students the next day made clear that the clinic had given them an understanding of jazz and jazz skills they did not have before. (Fee $1,500.00) 101 N. Naches Avenue Yakima, WA 98901 (509) 453'-1888 www se.acnnemncirfectival cnm • On 4/25/08, Delfeayo Marsalis and band conducted a one hour clinic to 80 students from the Yakima School of the Arts, coordinated by their music teacher. Marsalis and his band members gave a history and demonstration of the main musical components of jazz performance. After the session, the music teacher quizzed students and was impressed that they had mastered the clinic materials and had a far better appreciate of jazz and jazz skills than before. (Fees $850.) • On 5/12/08, jazz vocalist Kendra Shank conducted a workshop for the Davis High School Choir and other music students totally 120. The presentation concentrated on vocal improvisation. The choir later performed at her Seasons concert, demonstrating that they had acquired basic improvising skills, according to their vocal instructor, and giving them a rare "professional" opportunity to perform. (Fee $237.27.) • On 10/13/08, Bill Mays, jazz pianist and composer, provided a master session on composition to 25 YVCC music students which was coordinated by the YVCC music director. From his discussions with students, it was evident that they learned new compositional skills. One of these band students was later commissioned to write a piece for the Toppenish High School Choir. (Fee $900.) • On 10/14 Marvin Stamm, master horn player, conducted a trumpet workshop for 270 students at West Valley High School. According to the music teacher, her music students acquired a better understanding on playing jazz versus classical horn playing than before, and non -music students had a better appreciation of how to listen to jazz. (Fee $900.) • On 10/15, cellist Alicia Horn, worked with Davis High School's cellists for one hour and the teacher was ecstatic with her connection with the students. Alicia is in her late 20's, so the students were fascinated by her description of making a living as a musician. (Fee $300.) • On 10/17 Jerry Gonzalez, Latin jazz legend and percussionist, gave a clinic on the history and fundamentals of Latin Jazz to 80 students from the Yakima School. of Arts. According to the music teacher, this was the students' first exposure to Latin Jazz, and her individual students asked her to provide more information on Latin Jazz. (Fee $900.) • On 11/15 Blues guitarist Chris Thomas King provided a master session for 10 guitar students from the Yakima School of Arts. Through the workshop students learned different blues styles and King provided individual instruction on techniques students wanted to improve upon. (King's fee was $1,000.) Another goal wasto provide youth with exposure to quality music and professional musicians that they would not otherwise have, with encouragement provided for their musical pursuits. The aforementioned listing of education sessions by professional musicians clearly shows how this goal was realized. Musicians also performed at each session to demonstrate their points and performed for the student's listening pleasure. As noted, the Davis Jazz choir attended a concert and even performed. A number of students from other sessions attended the artist concerts with complimentary tickets. Seasons also took special steps to ensure that most in need students received services. Two sessions were conducted with students with the Yakima School of Art, which serves high risk 101 N.
