From the reports I see, it appears that the snow will be heaviest overnight tonight, ending before the rush hour tomorrow morning. We may see some school delays, or possibly closures in the direct zone of heaviest snow, but I am confident that everything will be under control by tomorrow evening, and our rehearsal will not be impacted.
Chris Wilhjelm has written to all the bands participating in ACB to encourage participants to book hotel rooms at the Hilton Woodcliff Lake. Apparently, the anticipated number of rooms booked is way under predictions at this point. I consider Woodcliff Lake, NJ to be “local” for all of us, so I never had any expectations that members would stay overnight (as we did in Syracuse), but if you are interested, here is the information and booking link directly from Chris:
Dear Friends,
Here is quick convention update regarding our room reservation requirement at the hotel:
Yes, I realize it is possible to find cheaper rooms at another hotel. This hotel however is willing to provide us with a beautiful facility and incorporate it into a discounted room price. If we fail to meet the room requirement it will place an incredible debt on the host.If you haven’t already done so, please encourage your membership to book a room for at least one night. We will gladly comp your membership with additional day passes for every additional night they are booked. (Excepting the evening receptions as we have have an additional charge for these which is worked into the convention registration price).
The link for the convention is www.acb2019.org – there is a link there for the hotel reservation but if you want a direct link to the hotel reservation: https://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/W/WODHIHF-ACB-20190423/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POGThanks, Chris
if you find that you’d like to stay overnight either before or after our performance on Saturday, April 27, please use the link above.
I doubt that we’ll need another communication tomorrow. Unless you hear from me again by noon tomorrow, assume that everything is GO as planned. Stay warm, stay dry. See you tomorrow evening.
