River Valley Band -Grant Submission
Dan Retka <danretka1@gmail.com>Mon,Jun 2,2025 at 5:17 PMTo:Alex Menke <amenke@hastingsmn.gov>,Dan Retka <danretka1@gmail.com>
Alex,I've forwarded the fee schedule to you under a separate email
and include it again here.
As for further rationale for other expenses (music,publicity)
mentioned in our proposal,I offer the following:
Hastings Middle School Auditorium rent:Our proposal mentioned that
Community Ed has recently increased the facility rental fees
substantially.As mentioned above,that new fee schedule is
attached.I am providing an invoice from Community Ed for a recent
concert which illustrates what we've paid in the past.
Music:The River Valley Band has not yet set the program of music for
the Veterans Day and Holiday concerts.This decision will be made
later this summer.The value in our proposal of $100 for music is an
estimate of what we typically spend on concerts based on past
experience.Each arrangement we buy commercially is priced at
between $80 and $100 and normally we end up buying one or two new
arrangements for each concert.An invoice from music supplier JW
Pepper is provided as an example of this expense.
Publicity:The Band designs publicity posters for each concert and
has them printed by Graphic Design here in Hastings.Posters cost
around $75 per concert.Concert programs for the audience are
printed by GD also which run about $100/concert.We also purchase
an ad in the Hastings Journal to promote the concert which runs
$225/concert.Invoices from Graphic Design and the Journal which
illustrate these expenses from past concerts will be hand delivered to
you for use at the June 11 Arts and Culture Commission meeting.
Finally and to be clear,our proposal for $1000 is only requesting grant
support for a portion of our expenses for the two concerts.The Band
will cover all concert costs in excess of $1000 as part of the
requirement for the matching grant.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide additional information in
support of our proposal.
Regards,
Dan Retka,Treasurer
River Valley Band
