Title
Southwest Community Concert Band Lease Agreement
History
The Southwest Community Concert Band (SWCCB) was founded in the fall of 1981. The SWCCB began under a local school band director and started performing outdoor summer concerts in areas served by the local community college. Performance options were limited due to sponsorship of the college, so the band moved its activities to Worth Park District.
From 1990 through 2005, the SWCCB began an adult festival, the Cavalcade of Bands, featuring community bands. The band expanded the musical talent of its members by developing various performing ensembles, while providing a continuing music education resource to the community.
Community Involvement: In 2006, the band performed a Holiday themed concert that requested non-perishable food items as a price of admission and collected more than 500 pounds of food, which was donated to area food pantries. In 2007, the band began a weeklong event that was started as an extension of the Band’s Outreach Programs for young musicians. Currently SWCCB has a library of approximately 1200 musical selections and continue promoting the growth of outreach programs.
The SWCCB is entering in a partnership with the Village in exchange for permission to utilize space at the Cultural Arts Center (CAC) to serve as its home. Attached is the proposed lease agreement, which states that SWCCB will utilize room 203 at CAC for weekly music practice on Tuesday nights from 6:30 pm to 10:15pm, and utilize Room 202 for office space and storage. In addition, the SWCCB will provide at least two (2) free concerts in the village. The term of this 2 year lease agreement will be from February 23, 2016 to February 28, 2018 and the rate will be twelve dollars ($12.00), payable in 24 monthly payments.
Financial Impact
A monthly rental rate of twelve dollars ($12.00) for 24 months. Cleaning services will be reimbursed by the SWCCB if necessary.
