Like Stageband Jazz Orchestra, Vocal Group Treats consists of musicians who, besides their busy and lucrative professional musical activities, have never forgotten that they started making music as a hobby. Just like the professionals of the Stageband, they rehearse weekly to realize the goals set by them. Because they too know that making music, and improving your level, requires a lot and conscientious study. That is the only route to refinement and improvement of your sound, virtuosity and insight. Music as a hobby. Do these much-needed professionals find that a problem? No, on the contrary. But maybe the Netherlands should find it a problem. Maybe not. The most important way to reward this type of primal musician is with appreciation and respect. A beautiful stage, with a listening and grateful audience, is at least as important as financial support. It is our job to reach out to the people who love vocal big band jazz and to make them enthusiastic about the concert series. 4 full rooms with a dedicated audience is the most important thing. This will ensure that professional hobbyists will continue to devise challenging projects as fanatics. They have to, it is their drive.
