The following language is how the Wyrick proposal will appear on the ballot: 

Project: MSU Steinway Spirio Grand Piano 

This proposal requests that the Wyrick Commission fund a customized black and maroon Steinway & Sons Medium Grand Spirio piano to serve as a signature feature in the Clifton M. Smart III Advancement Center Living Room. Branded with the MSU Bearhead logo and word mark, the piano can be played traditionally or operated as a self-playing instrument. An iPad provides access to the Spirio library that will include the MSU Fight Song and Alma Mater, and an entire menu of music catalogued by genre, performer, or entire concerts to enhance gatherings, events, and everyday moments in the Advancement Center. 

The Project is estimated at $208,000; this would be about 51% of the total amount in the Wyrick Fund. The current amount of money available in the Wyrick Fund is $405,386.48. Do you vote to approve the project?
