The annual budget for the Paris Municipal Band was reviewed. Discussion was held on the following issues: • Purchase of new chairs - Jim Brunette and Edmond Castleberry agreed to visit with Mike Malone regarding purchasing chairs as opposed to our borrowing them year after year. A problem has occurred with someone to set up and tear down after each performance. • Purchase of new stands - Tom Nuegent is going to check on the cost of folding stands, which take up much less space than the large stands borrowed from Paris High School Band Hall. • Tom Nuegent will purchase new music for this band season. • Transportation is an issue as the truck rental company is no longer in business. Randy Bunch is checking into alternatives. • A new sound system provider will be investigated by Randy Bunch and Edmond Castleberry as the company used last year did not show up for all of the performances. Kenny Daus and Paul Denney were recommended as replacements. • Musicians will be paid $25 per week that will include two practices and one concert.
