APPLICATION AMOUT: $23,000.00
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE OF THE GRANT FUNDS:
As a resident ensemble of the Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts in
Carmel, the Indiana Wind Symphony (IWS) has entered the 16th season of
performing as Indiana's premier adult concert band, under the musical direction of
Dr. Charles Conrad. Our performances delight audiences, intertwining the musical
heritage of the classic community band with the innovation of the contemporary
wind ensemble repertoire, having achieved acclaim for several national and global
premier performances. The IWS is a wholly volunteer organization, including Dr.
Conrad, all board members, and each highly trained auditioned symphony musician.
These dedicated volunteers work together to bring audiences the highest level of
technical and musical expertise.
The IWS is respectfully requesting a grant in the amount of$23,000 to offset
operational costs for the Symphony, specifically related to the productions and
special events planned for the 2014-2015 season beginning July 2014. Our season
and performances are shaped by our mission, to "present artistic performances of
significant music for band and wind ensemble to the Central Indiana community."
Grant dollars will be used to help us to fulfill our mission in the following ways:
I. Host the Second Annual Carmel Festival of Concert Bands —July 2015
$12,000
Our commitment to generating performance opportunities for concert
bands and wind ensembles in the Central Indiana community is
embodied in spirit of the Carmel Festival of Concert Bands. This
collaborative event brings eight Indiana ensembles (approximately 500
musicians) together for one full day of concert band music performed for
the community at this outdoor concert held at the Carmel Gazebo (rain

venue Palladium). The inaugural event was well received by audiences
and performers alike.
Support from the City of Carmel would help offset:
• Logistic expenses such as a sound system, security,
seating, etc.
• Printing and promotion expenses
• Feinstein Archives open with tours
II. Bring a Major Soloist to Perform with the IWS in the 2014-15 Season
$ 7,000
Our commitment to creating excellence in programming is evident at
each concert when you hear the ensemble perform at a level that far
exceeds the connotations of a hometown group of volunteer musicians.
To complement this high-level of artistic achievement, we wish to invite a
major soloist to perform with us during the 2014-15 season. Not only
will this take the performance to higher musical level, it may prove a
motivator for potential patrons to discover the IWS at the Palladium,
thereby growing our ticket revenue.
Support from the City of Carmel would help offset hiring a renowned
soloist who would also inspire students in this area.
III. Audience/Donor Development Reception
$ 4,000
Since becoming a resident ensemble at the Palladium, the IWS has
already enjoyed an expanded following from all over Central Indiana. A
main source of our operating income is generated from ticket sales. Our
innovative set for the upcoming season is intended to generate continued
growth in concert attendance, specifically young professionals. A revenue
stream we hope to grow is from individual donations. To accomplish
both, we hope to host another in a series of receptions to develop deeper
relations with our current audience members and donors, as well as,
continue our initiative to engage with young professionals, increasing
their experience of IWS performances at the Palladium, cultivating a love
of concert band genre of music and the value of having the arts as an
integral part of our community.
Support from the City of Carmel will help offset:
• A pre or post-concert reception at May 2015 concert
• Event promotion
• Catering
