I. PURPOSE
The objective of this
policy is to assure consistency in all aspects of contracting,
booking, producing, and promoting performances on the
Fort Lewis College campus.
II. PROCEDURE
A. Definitions:
1. The Event Coordinator
is any person or group planning a production or concert
on campus, except for those productions listed in
a, b, or c of paragraph B below.
2. The Manager is
the Manager of the Community Concert Hall.
3. The Police Chief
is the Fort Lewis College Police Chief.
B. All productions
and concerts, including those proposed by student
organizations, must be coordinated through the Manager.
The only exceptions to this policy are: (a) performances
conducted through the Theatre and Music Departments
under the auspices of Fort Lewis College, (b) speakers
engaged through College departments and student organizations,
and (c) bands for small venues (such as Homecoming
Tailgate Party, local bands in the Amphitheatre) whose
costs are $1,000 or less.
C. When planning
a production or concert, the Event Coordinator must
first present a proposal to the Manager of the Community
Concert Hall.
D. The
Manager is the only person authorized to make contact
regarding productions and concerts with outside agencies,
artists, booking agents, etc. After reviewing
the proposal, the Manager will make the necessary
industry contacts, contract negotiations, ticketing,
and all off-campus contacts related to the production.
E. If, after
consulting with the Manager, the Event Coordinator
elects to proceed with the show, that Event Coordinator
is responsible for all on-campus production tasks
under the supervision of the Manager.
F. There will
be an administrative fee charged by the Community
Concert Hall for the services outlined above. The
Fee Schedule is available at the Community Concert
Hall at Fort Lewis College.
G. When deemed
necessary by the Manager, security for the event shall
be coordinated through the Police Chief. The Police
Chief has final responsibility for decisions regarding
security, including veto power (for example, when
other colleges or organizations have had damage problems
or security concerns with a group). The Police Chief,
in consultation with the Manager, determines the amount
of security needed for the event. The Event Coordinator
must pay the full cost of security for the event.
H. PRIOR
to approaching any potential sponsors, the Event Coordinator
is required to present the proposal(s) for sponsorship
and receive approval from the Fort Lewis College Development
Council. (The Development Council is currently being
organized to coordinate all fundraising activities
for Fort Lewis College.)
