While developing your 5 Year Plan, it is a great time to think of future large item needs for your district that might benefit other groups at your school. This could include items such as a grand piano for the auditorium, perimeter shells for the stage, updating the sound system in the auditorium, etc.
This can be a glimpse into the future of all fine arts programs in the school and will put that idea in the heads of the administration and Board of Trustees so when the subject is broached in the future, they will already have a working knowledge of what is needed.
Another large purchase might be an 18 wheel semi-trailer to transport equipment, especially during marching season, but also throughout the year.
With these large capital outlay items, it is good to begin the discussion years in advance and offer up a timeline in order for the board to put aside funds on a yearly basis to work towards this type of purchase.
