    The website isn't up yet, but we want to get some info out to you guys now!!!

    There has been an addition to the lineup for Hawkeye Swing Festival 2011. Teaching the first lesson of the weekend on Friday night is Solomon Douglas. He will also be playing piano for 2 of our amazing bands over the course of the weekend!!!

    We have worked out a sweet deal for everyone looking for a hotel to stay at. We have a block of rooms reserved at a special rate of $65/night (plus taxes). This hotel is the Iowa House Hotel which is in the same building as our main venue!!! So when you're done for the night you can just walk down the hallway to get to your room. They also offer free parking during your stay!!

    Our early bird prices are being announced now, so that everyone interested in attending can be informed. We are offering two rates again this year, Student and Non-Student. There are international discounts and group rates available, please email HawkeyeSwingFest@gmail.com for more information!!

    Early bird pricing:

    Student: $70

    Non-Student: $85

    That's one hell of a deal to get to take classes with Skye, Naomi, Nina, Andy, Falty, Andrew, Karen, Casey, Carl, Jenna, Jaredan, Jayna and Solomon. Not to mention the amazing live music being provided at night!!! We are also upping the cash prizes for every division!

    There is no reason not to miss this year!
