For this assignment I am going to be looking at the concert attendance rates at Slippery Rock University over the years. I am hoping to be about to get the data from the past 5 years at least. Since there are two concerts every academic year, I am hoping to get the data for at least 10 concerts. I believe that this is newsworthy because the concerts on campus are put on by the University Program Board which is entirely run by students and it is important to be able to look at the amount of work that goes into getting talent on Slippery Rock's campus.
As I stated before I will be looking at the number of attendees at each concert at Slippery Rock, but I will also take a look at the amount of social media posts on Twitter and Instagram and see if there is any correlation between marketing and attendance.
This data will be shown through the usage of a dual bar graph. One bar will represent the number of attendees at the concert and a bar next to it will show how many social media posts were made about the event. If this becomes to cluttered to be on one bar graph, I will make two separate bar graphs and label it accordingly.
For this assignment I am planning on interviewing Derek Brewer, a member of the e-board for UPB and the Director of Concerts and Comedians at Slippery Rock.
My hope through this assignment is to be able to show how much work goes into getting talent to come to Slippery Rock and hopefully encourage more students to become involved with UPB in the future.
