<p class="MsoNormal">And I thought my budgets were low<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You don’t mention if you have to do things like publicity or custodial costs. Your budgets are low but are you talking about a set budget, including the royalties, costume rentals? Do you have to pay musicians for the musical?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our royalty budget for the 4 shows is $ 5,495<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These amounts are what we typically spend on the set budget alone. Generally 3000 to 6000 $ for set
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some of our figures, I’d like to see what others spend
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">set $9,500<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">lighting $2,250<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">costumes $16,000 (we do large shows always 25+ cast members)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">props $4,400<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">sound $1,400<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">total $33,550<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This doesn’t include musical director, fight choreographer, video and publicity and a host of other productions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And I thought we were scraping by. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope this gives you an idea, we had our friends at Sam Houston help us with a self study review and it was eye opening when we compared our meager budgets to what other schools in Texas spend for their shows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to see what others post <o:p></o:p></p>
