The Concert Committee is made of up 12 people, each with their own specific job. Each year FAB puts aside a specific budget for the major concert. This year we had $44.000. We went to the President for $15,000. Then when you add the ticket sales it gives us roughly $70,000 to work with, which includes $14,000 just for production costs. We work with a middle agent to see what acts are available and
in our budget. we select acts based off of what we hear from students and mostly from the survey that is sent out in the beginning of the year. The survey showed that the rap/hip-hop genre is the most popular so we are currently looking in that area. We do our best to appeal to the most students as possible and keep it at a high level performance. Although we cannot release any names we are currently working with because of contracts, we can keep you updated in other areas. We know that we cannot make everyone happy but we want you to know we do not do this for ourselves. We keep the students in mind the entire time. Hopefully we will be able to better share with you what we do and that way you can understand what happens during this process and reasons why we cannot have acts as big as some other schools due to budgets or availability. Follow us and we will keep you informed on what we are doing. Leave us comments and questions. We want to hear from you!
