Summary: Fame Kills Tour
1.) After Kanye backed out of the Fame Kills tour, the three touring options were to go on with the arena tour as a solo act, go on tour but in smaller venues than originally, or just straight up cancel the tour. Going on the arena tours would cost a lot more for advertising and stage equipment but has the greatest margin for profits. The smaller venue tour would cost less that it would to set up an arena tour but ticket prices would be lower and fewer tickets would be made available. The third option of canceling the tour is by far the most straight forward and easy to pursue however would result in a financial loss from prepaid expenditures I were Troy Carter, the touring option that I would choose would have to be stick with the arena tour. All three options had their pros and cons, but from a financial and business point of view, the arena tours would allow more of her fans to come out and see her which means good publicity, tickets are more expensive, and profits would be much higher despite a higher investment on stage setup equipment and the nature of a higher risk.

Assuming all arenas booked sat 20,000 people and all tickets sold at the constant rate of $150 she would rake in $3 million a show and after all 25 concerts, she would have made $75 million minus the $12 million for gear and other costs generating a grand total of $63 million. At the smaller venues, she would be able to sell roughly 8,000 tickets at $100 each generating $800,000. After all shows had been performed and costs accounted for, Gaga could walk away with $14 million. Canceling the tour however would require no additional equipment costs, but the money she had already spent would not be returned and she would be $4 million in the

    Millie Chen's Tour was presented in the Albright-Knox's Gallery for New Media, a small black box screening room with surround sound and a projection wall. The multimedia installation was comprised of four movements presented in a loop, each documenting the artist's visit to a particular site of historical genocide. Handheld footage of the locations segues seamlessly from one to the other in the film, interspersed with unobtrusive titling presenting the location's name and the date of the genocidal event: Murambi, Rwanda (April 16-22, 1994); Choeung Ek, Cambodia (April 17, 1975--January 7, 1979); Treblinka, Poland (July 23, 1942--October 19, 1943); and Wounded Knee, USA (December 29, 1890).…

    On the night of Monday, October 16th, I had the opportunity to perform as part of the Wind Ensemble in the SHS Fall Concert. The ensemble consisted of woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Our band presented two pieces in the concert: a program and an overture. Although we were not as prepared for the concert as I’d hoped, I opine that the wind ensemble performed rather successfully.…

    My wife is a teller at US Bank in Pleasant View, Tn. One evening during our normal conversation about the events of the day, she said, “Guess who I have as a customer at the bank.” I had no idea who it could be.

    One thing most people think about concerts are the costs of the tickets or how much money they will spend. If I went the Michigan concert, I would spend less money than I would if I were to go to Indiana. This reason, is because the tickets will be 40% cheaper, and I wouldn’t have to pay for a hotel room. The location of the concert is three hours away, and we would like the road trip away from home, but that…

During the concert, the band played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, William Tell Overture, and Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. The music was excellent and played with much expertise. Each piece was performed well. I enjoyed listening to the extravagant music with very few mistakes.…

    This is a grand opera that begins off initially with laughter. This appears to be a theme that reoccurs throughout the piece suggesting that it is a comic opera. The mood is serious yet comical throughout. It was really impressive how the composer orchestrated the story into the opera with elements of comedy in the piece. I can see how the opera plays into the minds of those of the middle class during that time as well. The composer is making light of real life situations that would get people down such as death, sickness, and pain. That in itself is amazing.…

    The concert was labeled on youtube as a Bangladesh concert. The musical artists played Indian music, and there didn’t seem to be a composer. Every one just seemed to know how to play together. By being an active listener I learned that different cultures sometimes have very different musical styles. Most musical styles touch on all elements of SHMRGO. It was really neat to see how differently Indian music is put together. It’s obvious that they’re extremely talented musicians because they have to incorporate twice as many notes (semi-tones and quarter-tones) than whats typical to us, and they all did it so well.The type of instruments I think were used were the chordophones sitar, santoor, ektara, and the getnu. Also, I think either a bansuri, a venu, or a fiti was used (aerophones); and I’m almost positive that the dhad was played percussion wise. I think these instruments were played, but there were definitely a lot more instruments played than just these.The mood of concert definitely seemed like it was met to interpret happiness and excitement. As I mentioned, there was no one composer. However, the artists did communicate with each other through body language, and that was really interesting to watch play out.The Bangladesh concert performance was definitely interesting and educational, but for the most part it wasn’t pleasing to my ears, simply because I’m not accustomed to the style of music that was played. I completely respect the music that was played, and I honor that it’s different from the music that I listen to. To be frank, the pieces sounded like organized chaos. However, over it time it may become something I’d listen to for fun. Watching this concert definitely made me curious as to what different cultures think when they hear musical styles that are common to…

    Ring Ring, we herd the phone and my mom answered, I could not hear what they were talking about but it just so happened to one of they most important phone calls of my life. It was December 10, 2014 that we got the phone call from a band asking me if I was interested in playing with there band at a live concert, first I though I was dreaming and then I realized I was'nt, I could not believe that I had the opportunity to play in a band at a concert at age 12. I had five days to make up my mind of weather or not to play on stage with this bad. I started practicing the songs I was going to perform and they were pretty easy for me but I just had this gut feeling like I was not going to do well. The next day I woke up it was coming so fast, and all I was focused on at the time was practice, practice, practice. This would be a once in a lifetime chance, a decision that would decide my future as a musician, it would decide respect, how people…

    When I was eight years old, my mom took me to my first formal concert in Carnegie Hall to hear the Cincinnati Pops play because her office got her and her colleague VIP tickets for Christmas. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it all that much because I was never a fan of classical music at that age, but I loved every second of that concert, or the fact that I was in New York City. That’s still debatable.…
