Overview
Mission
The organization serves as an extension of the local band programs and private music lessons in Pomona and the surrounding communities. We currently offer two indoor competitive ensembles under our parent organization. Both the percussion and winds ensembles compete locally and nationally in the Independent Open Class Divisions. Under our strategic plan, we have plans to expand and offer additional ensembles. The organization's professional design team and the educational team develop the members into well-rounded performers and leaders. As a result of the valuable education received, our members also develop their leadership skills. Our members with these new skill sets will go on to interact with beginning musicians in the community and become educators.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization is dedicated to bringing individuals together with diverse backgrounds and interests with a desire to perform and educate the community through the art of "Performance Theatre". This outcome is achieved through discipline, teamwork, commitment to work, and commitment to excellence. The organization's 2 competitive ensembles worked with 57 cast members and were able to compete in several regional competitions and finished in first or second place.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
