Overview

Mission

To encourage the development of musical and dance performance in the community by providing participants with instruction and performance opportunities, including parades and concerts and field competitions.

The Organization competed at the Drum Corps Associates National Championships held over Labor Day weekend in Annapolis, MD.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 68% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
