Concerts and Events

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Ops-AB Tech (+) $500.00 $500.00 $500.00

$200 for sound(microphones, speaker and monitors) for our large scale concert $150 for sound for each for two of our smaller music/dance talent exhibition events. Since our performers are from out-of-town mostly and are touring, we are limited in when we can schedule concerts. This year for all our events, we had to either move the event or use an external agency recommended by ABTech despite contacting them very much in advance. To compensate, we have cut down on venue costs by hosting events exclusively either at McConomy or at Porter Hall by planning early.

Ops-Professional Services and Performers (+) $4,500.00 $3,900.00 $3,900.00

$3000 for one large scale concert with a top performer from India.(Based on quotes obtained during the past year, at heavily student subsidized prices. The artists we bring in typically charge around $6000-$8000 a concert for non-student organizations. $1500 for one smaller scale concert with a good band from India/USA. (Based on quotes obtained during previous year)

You really should raise some revenue for this event. Also try to publicize it more.

Food-Meals for Members (+) $0.00 $0.00 $0.00

Sub-Total $5,000.00 $4,400.00 $4,400.00
