Overview

Mission

Give music performance experience to high school students.

What it reported doing in 2011

More than 50 students learned complicated musical field marching drills they executed while playing high level music ensembles. They performed together in teams as wind groups, percussion groups, and flag units. They learned leasdership skills as they helped each other perfect their sections. We purchased the music and the field show drill which was performed more than 15 times. Band instruments are well out of reach for most families in our community and there is very little budgeted for new instruments in our school district. Our organization purchased and repaired many instruments this year. It is up to our band booster organization to maintain the school issued uniforms. It cost us up to $1000 each time we had the uniforms dry cleaned. We perform in a hot, subtropical environment with frequent rain storms. We supplement the uniform with tee shirts and uniform gloves. We provided uniform and instrument repair. We provided chaperones to performances. We organized fundraising events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
