Your roommate is about to submit a scope statement for a spring concert sponsored by the entertainment council at Western Evergreen State University (WESU). WESU is a residential university with over 22,000 students. This will be the first time in six years since WESU sponsored a spring concert. The entertainment council has budgeted $40,000 for the project. The event is to occur on June 5th. Since your roommate knows you are taking a class on project management she has asked you to review her scope statement. She considers the concert a resume-building experience and wants to be as professional as possible. Below is a draft of her scope statement.

Based on course information and the eText, rewrite the draft scope statement (below) to make improvements.
