<\/div>\n

Are you a Primary, Secondary, JC, Poly student<\/strong> or someone like a teacher representing them? If so, there is a way for you to get 60% discount on many tickets, thanks to the Singapore Totalisator Board (STB) Arts Grant. This is a step by step article on how to get this refund for Philharmonic Winds<\/a>‘ concert on 9 June: Behind Wooden Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A bit more background: Endorsed by the National Arts Council<\/a> (NAC) Arts Education Programme<\/a> (AEP), the TOTE Board Arts Fund is setup to subsidise the cost of quality arts education programmes to schools so as to promote arts appreciation among students. You can learn more about the bla bla bla<\/a> on your own sweet time.<\/p>\n

Ok here are the steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make payment of full ticket price to The Philharmonic Winds (by through SISTIC<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. Obtain NAC letter<\/a> (just download and print. TIF ~1MB)<\/li>\n
  3. Obtain invoice from The Philharmonic Winds. See sample<\/a> (PDF ~80KB).<\/li>\n
  4. Pass both documents to your school administrative manager<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And your administrator will change the expenditure on concert tickets to “STB Arts Grant (Local Only)<\/em>” project code (799021<\/em>) in the Integrated Financial Accounting and Administration System<\/em> (IFAAS). Don’t worry – they know.<\/p>\n

    For the invoice, an e-mail to info [at] philharmonicwinds [dot] org is sufficient if you don’t already have another contact to do so.<\/p>\n

    Typically, you can choose to let students pay the full price first and make re-imbursement later, or, if you’re representing some entity with petty cash or school funds at your disposal, then you can choose to collect the subsidized rate from students before making claims through the STB Arts Grant.<\/p>\n

    Remember – this reimbursement is only 60%<\/strong> of the ticket, so if you bought the $15 tickets, you’ll get back $9 per ticket. Hey $6 for a Philwinds concert with a reasonably good seat beats the crowded movie theatre anytime! Plus, Bobo is really awesome!<\/p>\n
