# THE WEBSITE, as of August 2026
# The live homepage carries the heading "2026 Performance Schedule" immediately above the line
# "Stay Tuned for the 2025 Yosemite Jazz Train Line-Up — TO BE ANNOUNCED MARCH 2025", and renders
# 2023, 2025 and 2026 event blocks together because old seasons were hidden rather than deleted.
# An "October 4th Special Guest — To be Announced" block at 2025 prices duplicates the BPM date
# and is stale markup, not a seventh 2026 show. Footer: "© JazzConcerts.com | Scottland Concerts 2019".
