Overview

Mission

To support the Newsome High School Band program through fundraising, volunteer activities, and community engagement.

What it reported doing in 2025

The newsome band program had another very successful year. Our concert bands and jazz ensemble achieved superior scores and the marching band was at the top of their competitions consistently. Our indoor percussion and winter guard teams competed successfully in the ffcc circuit. We hosted over 20 marching bands at our annual music festival and continue to think up creative ways to insert musical enjoyment into our community by marching in parades and playing for the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
