Thanks Mike for the information!
Yes, I am all over it as soon as this terrible thing goes away. I am hoping
for June but in that case, are we not going to do July 4th? I know this is all
up in the air but with that concert in June, maybe we could use some of those
pieces in our July 4th performance? I know you have probably already discussed
this but let me know. Also, I am thinking with the schools out, maybe there
will be a lot of open spots but it is summer time and usually no performances
during that time. I would like to look into Anderson of course and still
Covenant in June. Do we want a 3rd concert since we are losing TCMF for the
spring?
Again, I will keep everyone in the loop but please, if you hear anything or
have any updates, please reach out to me asap so I can push this forward. I
realize that a lot of this is the waiting game and even after that, the game of
who will be in their offices taking phone calls and setting this up with me.
Fingers crossed but I hope the city can understand that we may have to skip a
season somewhere.

Lord of the Rings is between 750 and 800; I don’t remember the exact number. If
Robert has the music picked for next year (besides LotR), that’ll add a few
hundred more. I would imagine that, with this group, we could come up with a
few other band standards that we could play in the future, if not immediately.
Anything Fourth of Julyish spring to anyone’s minds? Or new Christmas tunes?
Pending Robert’s approval, of course.

Subject: [acweboard] CoA Funding Update
Hi All
I just got off the phone with someone from the City Cultural Arts Division.
In general, things are still pretty up in the air, but in most cases, they are
willing to give us a fair bit of latitude on things.
One big issue for us is we are not able to spend the planned money on the music
commission and masterclasses. That amounts to $3000. I suggest we pay Robert
$500 to $1000 for leading the online music theory classes. The city has
already approved substituting virtual events. We do have to make those
sessions public to be in compliance. We don't have to try real hard to
advertise them, but we do need to make some token effort. We will need to make
sure we credit the city funding during those sessions.
I have asked if we can purchase music for future events. They are going to
check on that and let me know. Robert and Jarred, how much do you think we
could end up spending on some new music? I know we are looking at around $800
for Lord of the Rings. Any chance of $2000 total for music purchases?
We originally planned to pay Karina out of our own money. There is a pretty
good chance we can switch that over and pay her with city money. The city is
waiving the matching requirement, so don't really have to worry about what we
spend of our own money.
The really big question is if we are not able to re-schedule the Spring
concerts. Hopefully we will be able to do that somehow. If not in June, maybe
something in July or August.
The funding application for FY20-21 was originally due May 1. They are going
to extend that, but have not set a date yet. Karina (and everyone really),
please continue to try to plan next concert season as best you can so we can
provide reasonable details on our application.
That's all for now, I think.
