Hi Tony,

I just read the "How to get a call" thread and found it really helpful. My question is about approaching contractors to let them know who you are. I've asked around and got a list of people who do contracting for the main venues in town, but I'm not sure how to let them know who I am. Is sending a resume and demo CD a good idea?

To let you know where I'm coming from, I graduated from NEC in '05 and started grad work at the University of Minnesota last year. I've got some small work (weddings, church services, subbing for a regional orchestra, etc...) but would like to get into some of the bigger stuff in town...

Thanks,
Jimi
