The Doody's Discover Tinley

In our constant battle to attract attention, the band's sponsoring organization set up an informational booth at the 2000 “Discover Tinley” community fair.  Proudly manning our booth for several fateful hours that Saturday were percussionist Mike Doody, his lovely wife and flutist Charisse Doody and their daughter Emerson.

Proudly representing the band, the Doody's look forward to their shift.

Dwarfed by the elaborate display, Mike's attempts to interest a passerby in a Jazz Band CD.

Having caught someone's attention, Mike starts to reel them in.

In an obviously unstaged photograph, “Arts Alive!” coordinator Barbara Rose accepts a complimentary CD from Mike.

Charisse and Emerson can hardly contain their excitement as they work the booth.

Marcia Cummins makes an inquiry about the band.

Mike tells Marcia that he doesn't know where her husband is on the Monday evenings he's supposed to be at rehearsal.

Inspired by giveaways at other booths, Mike attempts to stimulate interest in the band by holding a raffle for “this cute baby”.

Randy Tietz and Mike share a moment from the 1994 Büdingen trip.

Much to Mike's chagrin, Emerson is vigorously tickled by a Teletubby^(tm).

“Please listen to our CD!”
