Student Federation approved a total of $7,000 for Centralhallapalooza last week to be added to their general budget.
Out of that money, $4,550 was recently approved and $2,450 was approved earlier this year, but due to an administrative mistake was not transferred into the Student Activities Board account. The money will be transferred now, coming to a total of $7,000.
Last year, due to Aaron Carter’s performance, Student Federation approved $10,500 for the event. The amount asked for this year was significantly less.
There was little debate about the proposal and it passed quickly.
“We were happy to provide the funds for Centralhallapalooza,” Student Fed treasurer sophomore Jacob Thackston said. “We know that SAB puts on a good show that gets a lot of people out there, and they put together a really good proposal this year that cut a lot of money out of last year’s proposal and is still benefiting the entire student population.”
The $7,000 approved for SAB makes up a small portion of their $30,000 budget for the event.
Centralhallapalooza will be held April 25 and will feature performances by Natalie Stovall and the Drive, Holy Moses, Sonic Schizophrenic, and Chris Lane.
