In my part of the world, as I believe in most areas of the US, musical entertainment is mandated. Now, I'm not sure about the constraints of this mandate, and what the ADs are required to do. Most have a specific budget just for activities, and it is usually left up to the AD as to how those funds are distributed.
Gary....this was mentioned a few years ago (maybe by you?). At the time I asked an AD that I knew real well and I think she said they are required by law to produce "entertainment" but that doesn't necessarily mean music. It can be anything from a hypnotist to a lecturer to an organ grinder with a monkey on a string. Don't take this as Gospel, but I believe those were the requirements at that time. Who knows what they are now.....everything, everywhere changes from day to day now!
