Overview
Mission
The etc all-american show choir provides music and dance education and performance experiences to students grades three through twelve. Etc is composed of three singing and dancing ensembles: the all americans, the main street singers, new generation and rouge. The groups perform for local charities, community events, festivals, and competitions in Ohio and beyond. The organizations's programming provides young people with opportunities to learn vocal music and dance skills as well as showmanship teamwork, self esteem, and stage presence.
What it reported doing in 2024
Rouge is an ensemble of grades 8 through 12 that provides a show choir experience for girls only. Due to increased demand for performance opportunities among high school students, especially among high school girls, etc formed the group to meet the needs of young ladies who did not qualify for the limited number of performance spaces available in the all american group. In its inaugural year, rouge captured a class championship award in its very first competition.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
