...ISSUES IN ACCOUNTING EDUCATION Vol. 19, No. 4 November 2004 pp. 555–565 The ALLTEL Pavilion Case: Strategy and CVP Analysis Edward Blocher and Kung H. Chen ABSTRACT: The ALLTEL Pavilion case is intended for the undergraduate management accounting or cost accounting course and the M.B.A. management accounting course. It provides an excellent context in which to examine strategic issues in using cost volume profit (CVP) in a service business. Based on an actual entertainment pavilion, the case develops many factors unique to a service business and illustrates how pavilion management can use CVP analysis to determine which artists to attract and what kinds of contracts to have with these performers. The Pavilion has two types of customers (paying ticket holders and free ticket holders) and earns profits from three types of revenues (ticket revenues, concession revenues, and parking fees). The case requires you to identify the best strategy for different types of artists, conduct cost-volume-profit analyses, consider the strategic issues related to operating leverage and how this affects the choice of performer and contract, and assess pricing strategies. O ne day in early November, Pam Berg, Manager of the ALLTEL Pavilion, was reviewing the operating results for the year just completed in preparation for the executive board meeting the following Friday. While the year ended in the black, she was disappointed that the ALLTEL Pavilion failed to earn the budgeted...

...19 Apr 2015 Cultural Report Assignment 1. I attended the 2015 Earth day concert located in the national mall for my cultural report. The date was 18 Apr 2015 and began at 11am. The website for the event is http://www.earthday.org/globalcitizen2015earthday 2. This event was a free concert to support and promote Earth day around the world. There were over 30 activist and celebrities who were there to advocate taking action against the deforestation of the rainforest, climate change, and reducing our carbon footprint. The event, which was located in front of the Washington Monument on the national mall, was a political rally as well as a concert to support change and environmental awareness. The performances ranged from Hip-Hop to R&B to Pop music from artist such as Fall Out Boy, Train, Usher, Common, Mary J. Blige, and No Doubt. 3. My reason for choosing this event was that the topics of discussion on the global environment are extremely important. Unless we reduce our carbon foot print, we may not have a planet to pass down to the next generation. Another reason was for the actually concert venue itself. A ticket to an event which showcases all of these performers would have cost well over $150 dollars. I was able to attend for free and have a picnic under the cherry blossom trees as the musician’s played their ballads. 4. The setting was outside right on the front lawn of the Washington Monument. The weather was actually superb since there was no rain...

The entertainment industry is generating millions of dollars through the sales of tickets. This scenario has benefited all the players of the industry particularly artist who incurred incur losses through illegal downloading of their artistic work. The prospects of this industry remain high. According to past researches, money generated from concerts rose by $3.6 billion in a span of 14 years from 1995 to 2005 in the United States. Over the last six years, music and festivals concerts have recorded sales increase of 69% and admissions growth of 29%. This growth marked a slowdown in 2010 where unemployment among the youth and declining consumer confidence were to blame. As the size of the entertainment industry increases, so do the expectations of professional project management concerts. Project management in concerts has become an important skill as artists are seeking such professionals to reap from their live performances. The aim of this study is to show my understanding of project management course as taught in class. This project thus involves application of tools and modules for project management where I will be managing a concert for international artistes where by 800 ticket sales are scheduled for sale.

...Bhavin Patel Professor Barr Wednesday 3:00 11/22/10 Concert Report I attended the Fall Jazz Band concert at Mt. Sac in the Sophia B. Clarke Theater. The show was on Friday November 19th, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. The concert first featured the Latin Jazz Ensemble of Mt. Sac. Followed by the Latin Jazz Ensemble was the Mt. Sac Jazz Ensemble 1. The concert was directed by Jeff Ellwood and Tim Curle. The first piece played by the Mt. Sac Jazz Ensemble was called “Intersecting Lines” which was composed by Les Hooper. After warming the audience up with that piece, they went on to play “True North” by Mike Dana. Next the Ensemble played “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” by Irving Berlin. The last piece the Latin Jazz Ensemble played was “Too High,” composed by Stevie Wonder, which I thought was pretty interesting. After a short intermission the Mt.Sac Jazz Ensemble came out and started off with “Hot and Spicey,” by Jason Goldman. The second song they played was called “Count Me In” by Billy Byers. Next they played “D-Bop” played in D-Flat I believe, and it was said to be a difficult piece for the ensemble, but they still mastered it. After “D-Bop” the piece called “Truth” was played which featured a solo piece from a talented saxophone player. Then they played “And Another Thing,” which is composed by Tom Garling. The last piece played was called “Yes or No,” and this was composed by Wayne Shortner. Jazz music started towards the beginning of the 20th century. ...

...Concert Report 1 I attended the Musica Viva string quartet on Sunday February 23, 2014. The Quartet included Susan Doering and Daniel Jang on the violins, Claudia Shiuh on the viola, and Dieter Wuldhorst on the violoncello. This concert was made possible by the Friends of Orpheus and is dependent entirely on donations The concert hall was quite small and seated about 200. Attending the concert was about 65 people. That consisted of children, students, and older community members. When I came into the hall the lights were on in the entire hall. As I began to sit down the lights started to dim. Excluding the stage where a light was laminated the four seats for the quartet. The director came in and began to introduce the quartet as to give a little detail on the program. The director excited the stage and the quartet entered. As they took their seats they began to tune there instrument’s. There first selection was Aaron Coplands Two Pieces. It was a very soft relaxing piece. Susan Doering took the position of first violin. Her movements were very soft and graceful. The harmony was consonance and made a feeling of being relaxed and sad at the same time. There next piece was Phillip Glass string quartet No. 5. I have to say that the pace was just a little faster. In this piece I really enjoyed the plucking of the strings. It made the piece fun and light. At the same time it was so relaxing to sit there and listen to. It almost put me to sleep. Thank goodness for brief intermission...

...Kim, Hyoungjoo MU106-M03 November 27 2013 Concert Report for My Music Class I attended the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s “Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto “on Sunday, November 3, 2013 at New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. The hall was much more magnificent than I expected. In addition, the deep hum of a thousand voices work up the excitement of me, I’m not a big fan of classical music concerts though at the entrance. At the beginning of the concert, the orchestra who is armed with tuxedos and full dress was seated on the stage. The concertmaster came out to tune the orchestra, and then the conductor made his entrance. They performed music from Hungary, Germany and Russia. Zoltán Kodály’s Dances of Galanta is the Hungarian work and Tchaikovsky’s beloved Piano Concerto No. 1 is the Russian piece. In addition, they explained these make significant use of folk music, adapting them in individual and compelling ways. By contrast, Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, which we hear before intermission, is more in keeping with the Viennese symphonic tradition. The combination of an abstract Germanic formal model with more geographically focused musical content gives this concert its profile. First, Zoltán Kodály’s Dances of Galanta opens with a cello melody with strong dotted rhythm. After that by the strings, they played the same theme by French horn, and then passed around the orchestra. The next, played clarinet soloist it was brief cadenza before...

...Sina Valizadeh Concert Report 2 03/19/14 Classical Music Concert Report The concert took place in Balboa Park at Spreckels Organ. I was there for about an hour and they played 7 songs. #1: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata from Symphony No.5, Opus 42 from Charles-Marie Widor (1844-1937) From the start of the song tempo was presto. It has a 1,2 rhythm and it is very simple overall until it goes toward the end of a song and you hear more different melodies. it had an amazing finishing. during the middle of the song you could've hear the middle parts with louder and harder melodies. #2: Jared Jacobsen: Toccata in D Minor, S. 565 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) This piece almost took 10 minutes and by far i can say is one of the best classical songs I've ever heard. it seems like a happy song. a lot of high pitch sounds and melodies were used in this song. tempo was combination of presto and moderato and it seems like its a dramatic song. #3: Sam Rudenberg: Prelude in G minor, BWV 556 from Jonathan Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Very relaxing song, decent speed and largo tempo. i can say it is esspresione and it gets loud at the end of a song. #4: Sam Rudenberg: Finale from Janet Correll (b. 1942) Its a romantic era, it has a story line and a song like melody, usually it narrates a story about some one or a specific event that happened in the history. kind of slow tempo and a 1.2 rhythm. i heard a little bit of syncopation as well. #5: Jared Jacobsen: oh Danny boy...
