Overview

Mission

To further develop the music ability and foster musical passion of approximately 150 high school band students.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization supports the Band program's annual expenses for Music professionals and the Marching Band show. Professional musicians from a variety of performing organizations and private lesson teachers are hired to work with the students in sectional workshops for each instrument group as well as providing instruction in clinics, masterclasses and other special instruction opportunities. The professionals working with these smaller, specific instrument groups helps to further the knowledge and technique of the students' musical abilities, and provides reinforcement and affirmation. The students are also tested frequently to measure their improvement. In supporting the Marching Band show, the organization assists with the fees associated with creating custom music arrangements, marching drill design, choreography, props and associated expenses from July through November.

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
