Overview

Mission

The organization was formed to support the existing educational programs in the performing arts field at brandon middle school and brandon high school which operate as public schools under the rankin county school district of the state of Mississippi. The organization will continue to support the development of members of the brandon middle school and brandon high school show choirs in preparation for show choir competitions which provides the students with skills such as on stage presence, performing in public, and other personal maturity skills.

What it reported doing in 2013

The choirs also put on local performances two times a year. While providing musical enrichment, the performances promote a spirit of goodwill and fellowship among parents, guardians, participants, directors, faculty, administrators, and the general community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
