General fund budget is shared by all ALSS divisions and does not include Drama.
Budget is not adequate for various band instrument maintenance and piano tuning,
etc. PRC recommends this be reflected in the needs addendum if the program would
like to see change; the concerns need to be known and can be referenced as being
included in the 2011-12 program review. Noted that the key board replacement has
come up in the past. Good opportunity to apply for grant funding.

Numerous sections listed that are one class; would be helpful to include that many
students take these courses for recreation. Courses are split between the written

compared to last year, is basically the same. Because there are so many classes,
addressing the variance by categorizing into three areas might be more effective:
theory, performance and drama
