What it reported doing in 2024
Our organization supported the Decatur Central High School (DCHS) Show Choirs according to our stated purpose. We supported 3 show choirs: New Direction (intermediate mixed men's and women's show choir), Expressions (advanced all women's show choir), and Goldenaires (advanced mixed men's and women's show choir). In addition to the show choirs, we also supported non-show choir singers, student stage crew members, and student show choir band members. We also supported one of the non-show choirs, Chamber Choir to host the first annual Madrigal Dinner. We served approximately 120 students throughout the year. The show choirs had 20 performances this year, including our home performances: Fall Concert, Holiday Spectacular, Community Show Choir Night, Singabration, and Commencement. The Expressions and Goldenaires both qualified for the ISSMA State Show Choir Finals. The year culminated with our annual Senior Night, honoring our graduating seniors and presenting various student awards to all three of our show choirs. Our organization financially supports all three show choirs by paying for competition fees, set and props, costumes, music arrangements, choreographers, student awards, and much more. Our organization provided many volunteer hours to build sets, alter costumes, clean costume pieces, run concessions at school performances, plan and facilitate all fundraising efforts, provide chaperones, set up social gatherings, plan and prepare gifts for graduating Seniors, and provide support to the Choir Director and Accompanist. DCHS Show Choirs has had a busy and productive year, and we look forward to serving again for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year.

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.
