Narrative
The University Marching Band performs at home football games for thousands of FAU students, faculty, staff, and community members. They are one of the most visible student organizations on campus with significant community outreach to the public schools and numerous public performances at local civic events. The University Marching Band has grown significantly in recent years, and currently has 116 student members; however, the total number of students impacted by the University Marching Band includes thousands of students that attend football games each year.
The University Marching Band is a class (MUN 1110/4113) that meets outdoors at a football field for instruction several days each week. Every class period requires a complete setup and takedown of the sound system, ladders, water jugs, and field markers. As such, all classroom equipment is portable, battery operated, and heavy duty for outdoor use.
The University Marching Band needs a new portable speaker system to replace a current one that is no longer fully functional and many years out of warranty. The new system would primarily serve to amplify instructors while they teach music and drill formations; but, the new system also has the ability to feature student soloists during performance. This proposal includes the amplification system, microphones, and necessary equipment to fulfill this purpose.
Hardware Requirements
The only hardware requirement is the portable speaker system itself. A detailed breakdown and quote, is included in the supporting documentation. It includes the speaker, microphones, and wires.
Software Requirements
None.
Timeline
The equipment can be purchased immediately and should arrive in several weeks.
Sustainability
This portable audio system can last 5-10 years with proper care. The limited warranty offered by the company is 2 years.
Resource Matching
The University Marching Band functions thanks to the cooperation of numerous campus entities, each providing what they can so the ensemble can represent the university with distinction and pride. There is no direct resource matching with this tech grant proposal.
Implementing Organization
As the instructor of the University Marching Band (MUN 1110/4113), Dr. Marc Decker will implement this project and care for the equipment.
