Overview
Mission
To provide enriched instrumental music instruction and offer performance opportunities for brass and percussion students of Central Ohio over and above that which is available through the students' school band program.
What it reported doing in 2019
Music instruction/ rehearsal: Each band received 18 weeks of instrumental music education before the pandemic closed our doors. A weekend retreat was held in January at a central Ohio group resident camp, which was used to allow the students to learn the art of performing as an ensemble. Volunteers rehearse a band section during sectional time, and the director holds full band rehearsals, for a total of 12-15 hours over a 2-1/2 day period. Purchase of sheet music, and maintenance of equipment is included in this expense allocation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
