    Breakdown of SAGEcoach

    May 4, 2016

    Sage the Gemini performed in the Gilbert Sports arena on April 29. The alternative rock band from Cal Lutheran Lancer Roscoe and hip-hop/rapper Nolan Forghani opened for Sage from 8 – 9 p.m. Sage started his set roughly at 9:15 p.m. and performed until 9:50 p.m. and then D.J. Lucci played covers while Sage interacted with the crowd until 10 p.m.

    All information was provided by the 2015 – 2016 Programs Board Director Amber Trujillo, 2015 -2016 ASCLUG Recorder Kiana Parker and Programs Board commitee meeting minutes.

    All of the budget numbers for student fees are looking at Programs Board use of student fees not ASCLUG as a whole.

    With Programs Board receiving 20 percent of student fees, their projected budget determined at their spring retreat was approximately $115,000. Throughout the year, it has increased to a final $139,963. Programs Board decided within their own organization to put on a spring concert instead of a spring formal for the end of the 2016 year. According to the Programs Board Director for the 2015-2016 academic year, Amber Trujillo, the Chiddy Bang concert in 2014 was deemed unsuccessful so they increased the artist booking budget to $40,000. Booking Chiddy Bang cost $25,000. They decided on an overall budget of $60,000 for the concert.

    According to the ASCLUG Recorder for the 2015-2016 academic year, Kiana Parker, genre surveys were conducted during the summer on the Programs Board Facebook page to see the kinds of artists students would be interested in seeing on campus. Programs Board offered a second survey to students allowing them to vote for their favorite artist to bring to the spring concert. This was unlike the Chiddy Bang concert in 2014, who was booked with no student votes. However, results were at times inconclusive because students could vote more than once. The total number of votes outnumbered the number of undergraduate students at Cal Lutheran with 6,173 responses. According to Parker, all votes were exported to a spreadsheet and monitiored on a Google form. According to Trujillo, it came to light that one student voted for Echosmith roughly 800 times. Parker said that even with their calculation adjustments for multiple votes, Sage the Gemini was still the clear winner with 40 percent of the vote.

    The total raw value of ticket sales was $6,061. They decided to absorb the $1,308.76 Everbright online ticket-sales platform fee into the ticket sales value, with a final sales value of $4,752.24. Tickets were also given to iCLU radio and various popular radio stations in the area including Power 106 and 103.3 The Vibe. Sales were marketed around Ventura County as well with the marketing and public relations team reaching out to local universities.
