Lunar Gala Budget

FY2013 (July 1 2012 - June 30, 2013)

The Lunar Gala Fashion Show is an entirely student-run event held every February to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Student designers, models, and dancers audition and are chosen at the beginning of the school year. Then, as a collaboration of more than 100 students, they work to create an impressive show that displays their creativity, talents, and passions for fashion and dance. Students from all majors and interests are welcome, as each contributes a unique creative vision for the show. As part of the Carnegie Mellon community for over 10 years, Lunar Gala draws in nearly 1000 members each year, and is one of the biggest student-run events on campus.

Stages and Display: I am requesting a little bit more for the staging and display amount especially because as the producer next year, I plan on impressing the 1000+ audience members with a better than ever light show. Last year, we were allotted $3,500 and we already went over budget by $100 for a rather simple stage layout. As prices are steadily rising in the economy in general, I would like to personally ask that if you grant any of our requests for the budget increases, it be the one for the stage because I believe it to be most crucial in pulling off the greatest Lunar Gala show yet. Also, as an added incentive, I promise to allow JFC executive board members in for free!
