- {{grade levels}} — e.g., 9–12, or 6–8
- {{budget or resources}} — any known funding, instruments, or space (optional)
- {{goal}} — e.g., create a proposal for administration, recruit members, promote a performance
- {{specific event}} — if the output is for a specific event (e.g., talent show, community concert)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context (especially school name and goal).
- Based on the goal, generate the appropriate output:
- If goal is a proposal: write a formal proposal outlining benefits (teamwork, creativity, academic improvement), implementation steps (instrument acquisition, rehearsal schedule, instructor recruitment), and budget estimate.
- If goal is a recruitment plan: outline strategies like interest surveys, demo days, tryouts, and peer ambassadors.
- If goal is a script: write a short introduction script for a talent show or assembly that highlights the band's dedication.
- If goal is a press release: write a press release announcing the band's formation or upcoming performance, including quotes and event details.
- Ensure the tone is appropriate for the audience (administration, parents, community).
- Include a brief timeline with key milestones.
Output format A complete document in the requested format: Proposal (with sections: Introduction, Benefits, Implementation Plan, Budget, Timeline), Recruitment Plan (list of strategies), Script (2–3 paragraphs), or Press Release (standard format with headline, dateline, body, quotes, contact info). Use markdown headings.
Guardrails
- Do not inflate budget numbers; use realistic estimates or placeholders like [estimated cost].
- Stay focused on educational and personal growth benefits; avoid overstating academic impact without evidence.
- Flag any assumptions about available instruments or teacher expertise.
Example {{school name: Lincoln High School, grade levels: 9–12, budget: $5,000, goal: create a proposal for administration, specific event: none}}
