4 However, should Covid‐19 health restrictions be reimposed, the Symphony is able to transition to virtual performances as was demonstrated during the 2020 ‐ 2021 season. Having been successfully demonstrated we are confident to be able to repeat this scenario if ever necessary.
Project Location
Please note that projects or programs that are proposed on property owned or operated by outside agencies or a private party will require the coordination with and potentially approvals from outside agencies, organizations, and/or the private party.
Physical Address of the Project Location
9792 Business Park Dr.
Sacramento, CA 95827
Other Physical Addresses (if project/program is at multiple sites) The Symphony has a signed lease with the Mandarins for rehearsal space. This lease is a two year lease and is currently paid for by another Community Enhancement and Investment Grant which is administered by the Cordova Community Council on behalf of the Symphony and the River City Concert Band. Otherwise we don't have a physical address or office. The new lease is currently being negotiated and ca
n be forwarded when complete. The Symphony uses the Performing Arts Center at Cordova High School for concerts. The dates for these concerts are not currently set. The center is rented for specific dates when the concer t schedule is set.
An application for an endorsement from the school has been submitted.
Have you received a letter of support for the project/program from the property owner? Requested, and will submit to city by March 17, 2023
If yes, submit your Letter of Support from Property Owner (not K‐12 schools or park/park facility).
Read‐Only Content

Project Synopsis

Project Description
Ri‐Nu Imagination is non‐profit here in Rancho Cordova, CA looking to open studios, gallery and community space for artists in Rancho Cordova and surrounding communities. We are looking to lease a facility along Folsom Blvd, in Rancho Cordova’s Arts District that is big enough to fit into the design of the kind of art studio tha t we intend. Ri‐Nu will be involved in renting the studio space, art galleries both online and in person. In addition providing workshops in drawing, painting, pottery (ceramics), woodworking ,photography, and graphic design et al. In collaboration with other Rancho Cordova non‐profits promoting the arts via cross marketing, podcast,i
nterviews, art mixes, etc. In order to maximize the arts in Rancho we are launching Ri‐Nu in the underground art scene through pop‐up shows at various Rancho Cordova business sites. Our goal is to have an emphasis of local, national and international Artists We are aware that there are several large an d small art studios and art galleries all around Sacramento, no studios currently in Rancho for artisan space, which is why we spent time and resources to conduct our feasibility studies and market survey so as to offer much more than our competitors will be offering and our out let is well secured with the various payment of options. Much more than producing, retailing and renting out various said artist studio space, our collaboration with artists and local small business in our community is key. We want to insure we support Rancho small business first, including other non‐pro
fit art groups,in our area. We know that our customers are the reason why we are in business, which is why we will go the extra mile to get them satisfied when they visit our art studio and gallery and also to become our loyal customers and ambassadors of the Ranc
ho Arts. Visiting our studios, via art shows, events, classes and meet‐ups will give our customers a vibe the arts in Rancho Cordova does not end wit\h us.

customers can order art works and related merchandize online and they will get it delivered to their houses or any location they want us to deliver to.
SW
OT Analysis
Our intention of starting our art studio and art gallery in Rancho Cordova is to test run the business for a period of 2 to 5 years to know which classes, Art merchandise works best for our and our communities -needs
We k
now that if a proper SWOT analysis is conducted for our business, we will be able to position our business to maximize our strength, leverage on the opportunities that will be available to us, mitigate our risks and be welled equipped to confront our threats.
St
rength:
Our location, the business model we will be operating on (artist studios, worker space , physical art gallery and online art gallery), varieties of payment options, wide range of art works and related products and our artist culture will definitely count as a strong strength for Ri-Nu Imagination .
The founde
r is well established in Rancho Cordova, and has experience with business start-ups and independent funding.
CE
O is working within the Art community and has established reputation and relationships.
Weak
ness:
A major weakness is limited financial capacity. The fact that we are a new art studio and art gallery – business and we don’t have the financial capacity to compete with multi – million dollar art galleries who are already determining the market direction for the artist studios and art gallery in the United States.
Oppor
tunities:
Factors such as improved household expenditure from wealthy consumers will lead to renewed demand. The fact that art dealer reduced minimum price guarantees, inventory and advertising to remain stable and positive economic factors will encourage spending on art.
The fac
t that we are going to be operating our art studios in Rancho Cordova’s Art District provides us with opportunities to sell our art works and related products to a large number of people. We have been and will continue to conduct thorough feasibility studies and market surveys to know what our potential clients will be looking for when they visit our art gallery; we are well positioned to take on the opportunities that will come our way.
Threat
:
Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is other artists with similar business ideas, other local and regional businesses competing in the same marketplace, changes in the economic environment .

KET ANALYSIS
Market Trends
Despite a highly competitive environment, the art studios and galleries industry has achieved modest growth over the last five years. Art galleries and museums contend with other leisure, sporting and entertainment organizations for a share of consumer expenditure and government funding.ok for,space to rent to create art to sell. Also, art galleries owners- have stated that the sells of art in their galleries increased or remained status quo during last recession.
Ar
t galleries and museums have continued to reposition themselves as social institutions, widening their appeal to new audiences and helping them secure government grants.
Successful art studio, maker space and gallery operators have made use of existing and emerging digital media to offer online virtual museums. In this era when the online community is growing rapidly, you would do your business a whole lot of favor if you create your own online presence.
One of the easiest ways to get people to see you as an expert in your line of business is to blog constantly about art works. You may also want to leverage on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and others to publicize your art gallery and art works.

Target Market

s a two year waiting list for artist studios in Sacramento. Many people who can’t do without having art works in their houses or offices. This goes to show that if an art studio and gallery is well positioned, it will continue to sell their art works to a wide range of clients on a regular basis.
In v
iew of that, we have positioned our art studio and gallery to service art patrons via our online art gallery shop. We have conducted our market research and we have ideas of what our target market would be expecting from us. We are in business to retail a wide range of art work and related merchandize to the following groups of people:
Artists
Other non-profits
Community Residents
Art buyers
Tourists
Our
Competitive Advantage

Project Information
Project Name
Cordova High School Musical Instruments
Project Synopsis
Measure H funds spent on this project will support the purchase of new musical instruments for Cordova High School Music Program.
Project Description
The Cordova High School Music Program and Folsom Cordova Unified School District has provided instruments to our musicians when the families cannot rent an instrument for their child. Of the 97 Cordova High Band and Orchestra members currently, only 10 students provide this own instrument, most are violinists. Normal wear and tear even wi th constant care/repair shortened an instrument’s lifespan with school instruments. Frankly our band instruments take a beating because of hours of marching band practice, football games, parades, traveling, and daily use. These school instruments eventually wear out. Our older instruments are repaired more often than newer horns, especially with the more delicate woodwinds. Our newest saxophone is fro m 2016, and with regular care is holding up. However, our saxophone inventory average 10‐15 years old. Working saxophones total only 12 in the inventory. This grant will increase our saxophone inventory to 20. Our Flute inventory is at 8, the grant could ad d 3 more as new flutist join our bands. Cordova’s brass inventory is small for the number of students expected to come into the program in the next 3 years. Currently, we have 6 trumpeters with only 2 working horns in surplus. Our marching baritones and mellophones are from the early 2000
’s and are showing their age. This grant will add 2 more baritones and 1 mellophone. The Flugel horn will double our inventory. This instrument in used in jazz band. The string bass included will replace the cracked string bass in our inventory.
Measure H funds spent on this project will support the pu rchase of new musical instruments for Cordova High School Music Program. Cordova High School Band provides an outlet for expression and growth for the Rancho Cordova youth through musical arts while increasing community pride. Appropriate recognition will be acknowledged at our concerts, programs and signage promoting our music prog ram.

Project Name
Rehearsal Space for Band and Symphony
Project Synopsis
This project provides funding to the Cordova Community Council Foundation, on behalf of the Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band and Symphony d'Oro, to secure suitable regular rehearsal space.
Project Description
This project provides funds to the Cordova Community Council Foundation to work with the Rancho Cordova Symphony d’Oro, Rancho Cordova River City Concert Band and RC Swing Collaborative to assure adequate rehearsal venues and opportunities to enhance the quality of the musical arts in Rancho Cordova. After disruption during the pandemic, the Cordova Comm unity Council and all three music groups collaborated to find better ways to achieve this goal and negotiated terms with the Mandarin Center for the RC Concert Band and Symphony. This solution has worked well and both organizations have achieved the ideal weekly rehearsal schedule. From time to time, they re quire extra rehearsal time and pay for it out of their own funds. This request is designed to continue that arrangement for 2.75 years. It is also structured to bring this project into alignment with the standard project period for CEIF grants in 2026. The Swing Collective will continue rehearsals at the MACC at no extra cost. A lease extension has been requested by the Cordova Community Council and costs have been negotiated as follows: • 10/1/2023 through 9/30/2024 $19,968 (12 months @ $832 per organization per month) • 10/1/2024 through 9/30/2025 $20,760 (12 months @ $865 per organization per month) • 10/1

The goals of this project are in alignment with the City of Rancho Cordova’s Arts Strategic Plan, which strives to create a city that is a “Place for Art and Artists.” The rapid growth of the arts in Rancho Cordova, which began in 2012 with a single City Hall art exhibit called “Genesis” has been remarkable
and has brought enrichment to the community and enhanced the City’s image. Both organizations have proven to be team players, responding when asked to support community events, while producing many of their own for the enjoyment of all. Even during the pandemic, these creatives found ways to stay to gether and play together again enormous odds. The Cordova Community Council supports both organizations, including financially and otherwise. The Mandarins have also been excellent partners in this endeavor. By becoming dependable customers and partners of that organization, the Application #9

The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a nurturing environment for two outstanding community musical performance groups, who give back to the community generously. Both organizations have already submitted a robust schedule of events for 2023 and can be relied upon to co ntinue to do so into the future as part of this requested contribution.

Is this a multi‐year request?
Yes
If you answered yes above, provide the number of years of grant funding you are requesting. 3 If you answered yes above, describe your sustainability plan and whether the project is viable as a single year request.
This is an underlying sustaining grant which is common for community performance groups. According to a recent article on governing.com most community musical performing organizations receive government support: Cities and Symphonies: Will the Music Stop? There are more than 1,800 orchestras in the U.S., but only about 20 percent have professional musicians, accor ding to the League of American Orchestras (LAO). The rest are volunteer, youth or collegiate orchestras. Whether they have a $19,000 budget or one that tops $90 million ‐‐ the range given by LAO ‐‐ just about every orchestra receives private and public support. As it turns out, indirect government grants are part of an orches tra's largest source of revenue. Thanks to their tax‐exempt status, private donations are an orchestra's main source of funding. "For orchestras, roughly 37 percent of their revenue comes from private contributions and those contributions are very reliant on their tax‐exempt status," says Heather Noonan, vice president for advocacy at
LAO. "Sometimes that version of government support can be a little less obvious to the general public." How many years have you received funding for this project? 8 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? The continuing need for funding rehearsal space for these outstanding musical organizations is likely to continue into the future.
Even performing groups that charge substantial ticket prices need support for basics such as rehearsal space.
Do you plan to ask annually for funding?

Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
This is an on‐going process, with both band and symphony needing rehearsal space year‐round. The size of both organizations (60‐ plus musicians) limits the number of venues into which they can squeeze. The project schedule is also driven by the negotiated lease agreement with the Mandarin Center. The schedule for this project is as follows: • 10 /1/2023 through 9/30/2024 $19,968 (12 months @ $832 per organization per month) • 10/1/2024 through 9/30/2025 $20,760 (12 months @ $865 per organization per month) • 10/1/2025 through 6/30/2026 $15,984 (9 months @ $888 per organization per month) • TOTAL rental cost: $56,712 • Cordova Comm
unity Council Administrative Fee: $5,671 for 10/1/23 through 6/30/2026 • GRAND TOTAL: $62,388 In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
This project is on‐going and as long as there is not another incident such as the COVID‐19 pandemic, the project will roll out as described.
Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.
Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
In the event of a change in health orders prohibiting the gathering of musicians, as occurred during the COVID 19 pandemic, the lease agreement would likely remain in effect with adjustments.

Accessible Inclusive Arts at Heart Craft Studio
Project Synopsis
Heart Craft Studio seeks to improve existing accessible, inclusive art opportunities, as well as strengthen & grow our staff with an emphasis on inclusion to support artists of ages and abilities.
Project Description
Heart Craft Studio is a growing small business that provides a unique space to explore creativity both on an individual level as well as a broader community level, with an emphasis on radical inclusion for artists of all ages and abilities. The studio has grown immensely on a conservative, independent budget in the year and a half since ope ning doors, and now seeks funding to improve and expand upon our existing operations and community impact. Since opening doors, we have held two large neurodivergent‐focused, free art events for the public, numerous all‐abilities classes, as well as private art lessons for a differently abled art student. This student, along with sev
eral other wheelchair users in our community, have inspired and highlighted the need for inclusive and accessible art programs. While these individuals may require a little extra creativity in tools, supplies, and curriculum, we feel strongly that they should not have to pay extra for these ex periences compared to other able bodied artists at the expense of their physical/neurological limitations. Our goals is to continue to provide free/low‐cost opportunities for our differently abled community with an emphasis on inclusion so that all ages and abilities are welcome to come and create together when th e attend our classes and events. We have also provided accessible work experience for two neurodivergent employees, and are excited to continue creating job opportunities for our differently abled community.
Project Team
The current team at Heart Craft Studio has been responsible for the delivery of offering all of our services. We will be hiring additional staff to help facilitate these classes, events, and private lessons, to include instructors, assistants, and part time training meetings with therapeutic professionals like occupational, behavioral, and speech professionals to strengthen our internal staff protocols with a focus on inclusion to su
pport a wide range of individuals creating together. We are also hiring a marketing specialist to help build community awareness of our offerings.
Project Goals
We would like to host at least two free community events per year with a specific focus on inclusion in our community. We just held one just last weekend and it was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, create art, and support local neurodivergent and differently abled artisans and makers. We will expand these offerings to include w heelchair art opportunities, as Application #10
ITEM 3.1.
ATTACHMENT 3
2 well as accessible creative projects, and accessible vendor opportunities for differently abled makers and small businesses that provide supports for this community. Our next free all abilities event will be slated for the Fall of 2023, and we would like to offer our third annual March event in March of 2024. Our inclusive classes run contin uously year round ‐ currently our staff can support differently abled individuals in about 25% of our classes, and throughout our community events. We aim to increase this percentage to at least 50% of our classes (through better training for our existing class schedules, as well as adding addition al opportunities with an expanded team to support the growth of our calendar). Hiring of experienced staff and training experts is currently active, and will be ongoing throughout 2023. We currently have a waitlist/interest list for our private art lessons ‐ in these operational enhancements, we look forward to being able to take on more private instruction students. Our current maximum caseload of private art students is three students per month, and we hope to increase our caseload to accommodate six to eight art students per month through increased staffing and enhanced training. This increase will be staff and training dependent, with a tentative goal of Fall of 2023. We closely monitor our data
and analytics across our platforms, and will continue to do so to monitor progress, budget, and improvement timelines. We feel confident that our services will gradually grow to meet and exceed our goals by the Summer of 2024.

In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
My team and I are already actively working to improve and meet the goals stated above. With our current budget and funding, our growth is slower and heavily dependent on community participation in our other offerings to help build out these business enhancements. Without funding, I anticipate it would take us two years to execute the se improvements and expansions on opportunities. If selected for funding, this assistance would speed up our process to create more feasibility in accomplishing these goals within the year.

Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
Heart Craft Studio is unique in the sense that it was a business born in the pandemic. We took into careful consideration things like social distancing, OSHA guidelines, and all safety protocols in our effort to navigate gathering together again in this new normal.
From its conception, we have built in back up pla ns and pivots to provide creative opportunities under a variety of circumstances ‐ virtual creative classes, art kits, curbside pickup, and/or smaller, distanced class sizes/layouts are all part of our back up plans, and have been ready to enact if needed.

Project Information
Project Name
"Immortal Winds" (Indoor Winter Wind Ensemble)
Project Synopsis
“Immortal Winds” is an indoor competitive winter performing arts ensemble featuring youth playing brass and woodwind instruments while moving in a highly choreographed indoor show.
Project Description
In 2022/23, Mandarins, through the help of a grant from the City of Rancho Cordova, introduced “Immortal Winds”, a winter performing arts ensemble based in Rancho Cordova focusing on brass and woodwind instruments. This ensemble addressed a current need in the community ‐‐ while high schools in Rancho Cordova offer Winter Percussion and Winter G uard programs and Sacramento State offers an independent Winter Percussion/Guard group, no wind ensembles have been available for youth participation. Winter Winds ensembles do not have any specific instrumentation. In fact, there are purposely less regulations and restrictions against winds groups, in regard to instrumentation. These less stringent rules exist in order to encoura ge experimentation. Winds groups also often incorporate percussion elements and guard elements into their performances, resulting in a unique mix of electric synergy. Winter wind ensembles prepare an original show each year, approximately 8–10 minutes in length, and refine it throughout the winter season (January – April). Shows are performed on basketball arenas or gyms and are judged in various musical and visual categories, or "captions". Musical repertoires vary widely among corps and include symphonic, jazz, big band, contemporary, rock, wind band, vocal, rap, Broadway, and Latin music, among other genres. Immortal Winds is open to all interested woodwind and brass player between the ag
es of 15–22 years of age. Experience camps are held in November and December during which students have the opportunity to hone the musical skills and learn basic movements used in the performances. In January, interested student is eligible to audition for the forty five (45) available openi ngs in the competitive ensemble. Thereafter, the ensemble will continue to practice and perfect their music and visual performance as a team.

Project Goals
The goal of Mandarins is to offer students an experience which challenges and stimulates growth on many levels through an activity that promotes musical growth and development by involving a variety of core musical skills, standards, and abilities. Imperial Winds goals include: • To perform instrumental compositions representing various genres, styles, and cultures. • Performing with expression, technical accuracy, sound quality, and articulation. • Perform in solo settings, with small segmental ensembles, and as part of a greater overall ensemble production. • Physically: improve muscle tone, conditioned response with/to music and other stimuli, simultaneous coordination of head, arms, legs, body stature as well as poise and control while experiencing physical an d mental pressure. • Mentally: improve multi‐levels of thought organization such as reading music, blending sound with other musicians, portrayal of moods harmonious with other performers and musicians, an understanding of how and why they execute each move, and advance awareness of what the next move/ note/step will be and why it is there. • Socially: improve functioning in a group situation by setting common goals, cooperating, and striving for success as a team. The cumulative result is a student with deeper feelings of understanding, a more disciplined focus (which finds its way into study habits in scholastic efforts), and a higher level of self‐confidence. Mandarins will showcase the finished program at a free community event in Rancho Cordova during the season. The program will further benefit the Rancho Cordova community as there are many outlets (other than the anticipated competitions) for performances available to a winds ensemble, including rallies, community showcases, or school assemblies which can showcase the activity to the community. Students and faculty will be introduced to the program and the audiences enjoy the show for its entertainment value.

3 Mandarins operates a Bingo Center at 9792 Business Park Drive in Rancho Cordova. A portion of the profits has been designated for Immortal Winds for the upcoming years 2024 and 2025. Mandarins also has an Entertainment Sector that appears at local functions and events for a fee. After the entertainers are paid, the remaining profit s are used to offset costs in each of Mandarins four youth performing arts programs Mandarins hosts a Drum Corps International Competitive Show each year in Sacramento called the DCI Captial Classic. Mandarins raised funds through ticket sales, parking donations, advertisement sales in the show program, sponsorships, entry fees, souvenir sales, and sales of food and drink. A portion of the r evenue raised has been earmarked for Immortal Winds in 2024. Mandarins is sponsoring an annual Golf Tournament. A portion of the revenue raised has been earmarked for Immortal Winds in 2024. Mandarins participates in on‐line findraisers such as the Sac ramento Big Day of Giving. A portion of the revenue raised has been earmarked for Immortal Winds in 2024. Mandarins accepts donations on it websites for program specific donations throughout the year. Souvenir Sales: Mandarins merchandise is available on the Mandarins online store with a percentage of proceeds to be earmarked for the progr am. The monies collected each year through these sources varies from year to year.
Ongoing Operations and Maintenance Costs (if applicable) Instruments: Miscellaneous repairs and padding necessary each year. Replacement every 4‐8 years Vinyl Floor: Floor must be cleaned and repainted each year and replaced after five years. Mats are painted each year to enhance the design of the show.
Costumes: For sanitary reasons, costumes are not reusable and become the property of the performe r at the end of the season.
Props: Frames for props are reusable but props are rebuild and designed each year. Insurance: Liability and comprehensive policy to cover injury and loss of instruments is a yearly expense. Transportation: Mandarins maintain a box truck, a pickup truck, and three axle trailer for transporting props, instr
uments and equipment to the various show and event sites. These vehicles must be registered each year, maintained and repaired as needed, insured and stored.
Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds Requested $20,000 per year until 2025
Is this a multi‐year request?
Yes
If you answered yes above, provide the number of years of grant funding you are requesting. 2 If you answered yes above, describe your sustainability plan and whether the project is viable as a single year request.
Mandarins intends that the program be self‐supporting by 2026 by increasing tuition for participation and securing corporate sponsorships. When Mandarins began developing the program in 2021, staff had identified a lack of wind ensembles in the Sacramento region, including the City of Rancho Cordova. Although Mandarins believed that the implementation of the Winter Winds prog
ram was viable, a lack of interest in the ensemble or a lack of necessary participants during the initial year of the program would indicate that the program was not feasible. As a result, when Mandarins applied for and was awarded a grant from the City of Ranc
ho Cordova in 2022, the goal was to offer the program for one year, then re‐access its sustainability for future years. If the program was not viable, it would not have been offered beyond the initial year. The metrics so far (the program will end in mid‐ April) indicate that the progr am is successful and would provide an on‐going benefit to local youth. Experience Camps were held in November/December 2022. Thirty performers, including students from Cordova and Kinney High Schools, auditioned and were selected for the ensemble. Weekly rehearsals were held on Fridays, Saturdays and/or Sundays at the Event Center in pre paration for competitions at Sacramento‐area high schools. Of the two competitions to date, the Mandarins have won our division in both of them and are a favorite of both the audience and judges. Over half of the participants indicate they will return in the Fall of 2023. In addition, Mandarins
is receiving inquiries about the Fall Experience Camps from local interested youth who have seen the ensemble perform. As the program grows and becomes more well‐known, tuition costs will increase, which will help offset ongoing costs.
Mandarins will continue to fundraise and earmark a percentage of funds received thro ugh Bingo, facilities rental, ticket sales, souvenir sales and program specific donations for the Immortal Winds.
How many years have you received funding for this project? 1 When will your request for funding sunset for ongoing programs? Mandarins intends for the program to be fully self‐supporting by 2026. As the program becomes more established and recognized in the WGI (Winter Guard International) competitions, Mandarins believes there will be a significant increase in the number of students enrolled in the Fall Experience Camps. Further, Mandarins intends to increase the size of the ensemble to the maximum number. More participants in the program will result in increased revenue.
In addition, the current tuition charged by Mandarins is below industry standard, but is appropriate for a startup WGI ensemble. As the program becomes more established and recognized, Mandarins will be able to raise tuition costs to match established WGI competitors. The current lower tuition was offered encourage Application #11

ATTACHMENT 3
4 students to join a start‐up ensemble. In addition, many of the initial startup costs, including purchase of sound equipment, instruments, floor mats and cart, have been made and will only need repair or replacement after five years. Mandarins will seek corporate partnerships for the Immortal Winds program, similar to the partnerships M andarins has with their Drum and Bugle Corps. These partnerships help lower the annual costs of costumes, transportation, and instruments. Mandarins will also promote the program via social media offering Immortal Winds merchandise on their online web store and will plan specific fundraisers for the program (spaghetti feed, bingo session, etc).
Do you plan to ask annually for funding?
No
What other funding will you seek to support your project? Mandarins has applied for a grant from a local foundation for a scholarship program for interested students who are economically challenged. This will allow any interested student the opportunity to participate in the Fall Experience Camps. Should the student audition for the ensemble and be awarded a contract for the season, the scholarship would cover the tuition fee. Ma ndarins is working with KHS America, Inc. for a sponsorship for instruments at a reduced price as well as incidentals such as mouthpieces (each player has a dedicated mouthpiece per Covid19 protocols), reeds, valve oil, cork grease, etc. Mandarins is working with the manufacturer for sponsorships for uniforms (reduced costs in return for rights to advertise).
Project Schedule, Timeliness and Adaptability
Project Schedule
The Winter Winds season runs from early November to end of April each year. Rehearsals, will not be held every weekend in the beginning, but become more frequent as the season progresses. For example, in November and December, Immortal Winds will meet on Sundays two times each month with auditions in early January. Beginn ing in January through February, rehearsals will be held every Sunday. During March and April, rehearsals will increase to both Saturday and Sunday, if needed. Additional rehearsals may be held during winter break from school. Rehearsal times can range from four (4) to six (6) hours each session, increasing in time as music is combined wi
th movements and drill patterns. Competitions typically start late January and culminate in the Championships held in late April. Mandarins participated in seven events/competitions during the 2022/23 inaugural season as an exhibition group. Immortal Winds has qualified to compete during the 2023‐24 season and anticipates entering six to ten competitions.
In addition to providing the project timeline identified above, describe how you will be able to complete your project by June 30, 2024.
Each year’s show is a “stand alone” project and does not carry over into the next year. Although students can participate year after year as long as they are eligible, the program is completed each year at the Championships in April. At present, although the inaugural year has not yet been completed, Mandarins has already secured commitments for employment for the majority of instructors for the 2024 season. The show concept is being worked on and a storyboard is being developed. The Mandarins Event Center has been reserved for the Fall 2023 Experience Camps in November and December and a potential show schedule is bei ng discussed. Winter Ensembles, including the Immortal Winds, rehearse and refine their shows from January through April each year, Competition events begin in late January and are held on weekends. The Championship Finals are held in mid‐April of each year which completes the program for that year. Immortal winds will follow this timeline.
Please note, if selected for funding, you will be required to submit a narrative Outcomes Report and a financial Use of Funds Report at least two times during the grant period.
Will you be able to adjust your project if California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders change? For example, the program could operate virtually or with other modifications made. Please describe.
Mandarins maintains a Health and Wellness team of medically licensed personnel who continually monitor California Public Health and/or Sacramento County Health Orders as well as National recommendations through the CDC. In the event of another mandate to "lock down" such as happened during the Covid19 pandemic, Immortal Winds would modify the program to a series of weekly virtual workshops taught by nationally recognized music instructors. Guest musicians such as Wayne Bergeron (trumpet player for Disney soundtracks) would also be contracted to meet virually with the students and offer tips and techniques for better musicianship.

Project Information
Project Name
Hummingbird Theatre Company’s 2023‐2024 Season
Project Synopsis
As Rancho Cordova’s leading Theatre Company we want to make theatre accessible to all people. We believe in engaging audiences with performances that inspire pride and change.
Project Description
This year we hope to start our theatrical season off in October, with the hauntingly still relevant play with a poignant message, “The Crucible”. This show is a dramatized and partially fictionalized story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during 1692–93 where everyone becomes a suspect and no one is safe. Next, in April, we will come in with a BANG! by bringing the high energy Broadway show “Chicago" to life. In this musical, the 1920s are roaring with hot jazz and cold‐blooded killers, as we follow the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly who bot h go to prison for murder, but both swear they didn’t do it (even though they did). Lastly we would like to finish our season in June with 2 hours of nonstop laughter as we bring the “Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged” to life. This 3 person production parodies the plays of William Shakes peare with all of them being performed in comically shortened forms as the trio repeatedly break the fourth wall, and speak directly to the audience during most of the play, and even on occasion get willing volunteers involved during certain scenes.
Project Team
Hummingbird Theatre: Danielle Mercado, Director. Sarah Feuerbach, Assistant Director. Diane Standring, Stage Manager. Beth Beam, Concept Designer and Fabricator. Jennifer Reeves, Prop Master. Tom Colburn, Sound. Carolyn Duncan, Tay Winslow, Jarod Wiggins, Company members, etc.
Project Goals
Our mission is to bring quality Performing Arts Theatre performances to the community of Rancho Cordova. Our goal is to make this amazing art form accessible to all, and to provide our audiences with an artistic and emotional experience they won’t forget.
Measurable goals include: Holding auditions, Casting the shows, having rehearsals, ac ting lessons, costume construction, dance instruction, music and singing lessons, character workshops, renting a facility, audience experience management, set building, public reach‐out and advertising, technical theatre setup, performances, and clean up.

Subject: Re: Hello
To: Hummingbird Theatre Company <[email protected]> Hello Danielle,
Thank you for
reaching out. As of right now we do not have a date set that the building will be finalized, or operational due to to contracting and scheduling of Tennant improvements. We do have a loose expected opening to be near the end of this year, but we will not be able to start scheduling additional groups for next years productions, for what I imagine will be another 2‐3 months.
That being said, yes we absolutely have the full intention for you to utilize the space for at least (2) productions next year, of which we had previously spoken about. That of course is only a starting place, as we get our feet wet and schedules coordinated. We may be able to provide more usage than that. I do know we (Rise Up) have one show pre‐ scheduled for March and another for June, if you can move your June show to July that would make it eas ier to try and guarantee you can have those time slots. This all with the understanding we have not been in discussions with any other groups about their particular needs, so please do not make any necessary changes yet. In addition, please kee p in mind our needs with those listed time slots may change, purely dependent upon the time it takes for the Tennant improvements, contracting, etc. to be completed. Until we are physically in the building, a lot is up in the air. I am happy to go into more de tail if you would like to connect, and happy to answer any questions you may have.
Looking forward to chatting with you!

The Golden Symphony (working title)
Project Synopsis
A Documentary that follows a year in the life of the Rancho Cordova Symphony Orchestra, "Symphony D'Oro" with a working title "A Golden Symphony".
Project Description
“A Golden Symphony” (working title) is a documentary that will tell the inspiring story of “Symphony D’Oro, the Rancho Cordova Orchestra”. Performing their first concert in May of 2013 with Conductor Peter Nowlen at the helm who remains the Symphony D’Oro conductor 20 years later, these extraordinary musicians had no idea how much the orchestr a would change their lives in poignant and powerful ways and this is the story this documentary will tell. This will be a film of not less than 45 minutes and up to 90 minutes in length, shot in 6k and of broadcast and cinema quality. Cameras will follow Sympho ny D’Oro at various times throughout the year. We will capture footage at some of their rehearsals as they prepare for concerts as well as at the major events they put on within the City of Rancho Cordova. Symphony D’Oro performs six large concerts a year in front of audiences, and cameras will be there to capt
ure the moments as they prepare on the day of each concert as well as the concert itself. What is the creative process that goes on behind the scenes as they organize and prepare? What other musicians, composers, and guest artists do they collaborate with? How instrumental is Peter Nowl en often referred to as one of Northern California’s busiest musician to the success of over 20 years of Symphony D’Oro? The Documentary will also feature and profile 8‐10 members of the Symphony with a special emphasis on the conductor, Peter Nowlen, and Lorraine Crozier the Sy mphony Concert Master and President of the Board of Directors. We will explore how and why these members joined the Symphony, what their roles are within the Symphony, who they are as people, and what they do outside of the orchestra. Basically a profile of the more unique and important members of this group. We will the documentary with what the fu
ture holds for these amazing and talented local musicians that bring so much to enrich the arts and culture of not only Rancho Cordova but region as a whole/.

Project Schedule
Pre‐production has already begun and we plan on capturing the first footage on March 24 at a concert performance by Symphony D’Oro at Rancho Cordova City Hall. We will then attend various rehearsals and other public events in order to capture the Symphony in action. We have been provided the names and conta ct information of symphony members selected by the committee who we will feature in the documentary, and are currently making steps to conduct pre‐interviews which will result in schedules made in order to conduct on‐camera interviews as well as any pickup footage of them going about their daily lives. We will be following co nductor Peter Nowlen as he goes about his duties as a professor at UC Davis as well as the other orchestras he works with. This will most likely be the most complicated part of the film as this will take the crew to other cities within Norther n California. We hope to speak with a couple of the composers that have worked with the Rancho Cordova Symphony in the past and we will be speaking the composer of the upcoming “Remember When” Concert who has written an original piece that will accompany a screening of a Buster Keaton black and white film that Symp
hony D’Oro will play as movie plays. The Highlight of the documentary will be the Application #19

Subject: Re: Confirming Application Received for The Golden Symphony (working title) | RE: *NEW SUBMISSION* Apply for Community Enhancement & Investment Fund Grant Funding 2023/24 Thank you for confirming receipt of the grant application for Golden Symphony.
As discussed, I realized I made an error in the "Total Project Cost" portion of this application, It should read $54,680.
We are only asking for the finishing funds for the film which is the "Total Community Enhancement & Investment Funds Requested" Of $17,000
The "Matching Funds" portion where I listed out everything we are doing and undertaking comes to $37,680
If the "Total Project Cost" number can be changed on your end that would be great.
If you need me to put a dollar value next to each item listed on "Matching funds" I can do that.
Thank you so much.

California Capital International Documentary Film Festival Project Synopsis
The Second Annual California Capital Documentary Film Festival held in Rancho Cordova will feature over 60 documentary Films from all over the world, over three days at three screening locations.
Project Description
The California Capital International Documentary Film Festival will be held in Rancho Cordova on Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, October 1 and 2023 will be the second year this film festival is being presented. So far we have received over 100 submissions with half coming from 27 different countries and we have some phenomen al entries. We estimate we will screen around 60 films over the course of the festival. As last year, we will have three screening locations. Rancho Cordova City Hall, Council Chambers, American River Room, Rancho Cordova City Hall. Cal Cap Black Box Theatre. We also plan on presenting filmmaker discussions and meet and gr
eets at the MACC which is a co‐presenter of this year's film festival. We will have an opening reception on Friday, September 29 hopefully at City Hall and hope to screen the opening night film that evening after the reception. We have formed a steering committee made up of 13 influential peop le in Rancho Cordova including The Rancho Cordova Mayor, COO of the Rancho Chamber, the City of Sacramento Film Commissioner, Curt Haven, Marc Sapoznic, Ashley Downton from the City of Rancho Comms team to name a few. We are currently soliciting sponsors and we are confident as with last ye ar we will have SMUD, Comstock’s Magazine, Sacramento Magazine, KP International Food Market. We are also talking to a few other high level sponsors.
Whilst last year’s attendance could be considered disappointing there were a couple of factors that we felt contributed which this year we will rectify. Th e time of year. Mid‐June was very hot and we competed with the Annual Gay Pride event in Sacramento. Our ticket prices were a little high. This year we have come up which a much more affordable and attractive ticket price across four levels. Single ticket, a three pack, a six pack and an all‐access pass. We plan on keeping prices very low and affordable. And of course, COVID was still a factor and on people's minds last June.

Project Information
Project Name
Documentary film, “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans & WWII.” Project Synopsis
The film builds on the successful traveling exhibit at the MACC. The exhibit told the story of the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese Americans. (Please see attached PDF).
Project Description
The project fulfills several of the listed program criteria. It tells the sad story of a crucial time in our history when California leaders and the public violated the American concept of freedom and the rights of its citizens. The government acted impulsively in response to fear, get‐tough military psychology, propaganda, and racial antagonism and ordered the int ernment of more than 120,000 people. This film also explores the important civic issue still alive: how much power does the government have over people in times of crisis? The internment was ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court in 1944 but over time was judged to be unco nstitutional.
Justice Anton Scalia said the decision upholding the internment of Japanese Americans “was wrong, but it could happen again in war time." By interviewing those incarcerated and their surviving family members, NIMBUS Films will illustrate the devastating impact unjust policies can have on people, families and society itself. There were also individuals who assisted the Japa nese Americans by safeguarding their property during their period of incarceration and rejected the racism of the era. Their stories will demonstrate how willful people can make a positive difference in times of crisis. This film will provide a powerful lesson in personal responsibility and con
cern for all people, not matter their race, religion or national origin. This film can be used in schools, community forums and the general public.
Project Team
Team leader Bill George, producer/director and president of NIMBUS Films is an award‐winning film producer, noted local author and historian known for his deep knowledge of California history, geography and geology. Bill’s films give viewers a front‐row seat into history through the lens of events that helped shape California and the nation. Mi chael Marando, associate producer research and marketing specialist. Mike will be conducting research on the film, identify key individuals and events that will tell the story of internment of Japanese Americans. A local product, Mike grew up in Rancho Cordova, attended local elementary schools (Peter J.
Shields), junior high (Mills) and is a 1973 graduate of Cordova High School. Brendan Compton, Videographer is an accredited camera operator and editor with a respected track record working on many aspects of television production. With more than 25 years experience, Compton has created promotional, educational, and training programs for major corporations and government e ntities.
