Overview

Mission

Our mission is to engage, entertain, and bring joy to those around us with high-energy music and exciting visual performance while providing our dedicated members a fun, educational, and personally rewarding experience in the marching arts.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rogues hollow regiment drum & bugle corps (rhr) is an all-age competitive marching music group. The organization strives to provide its members with a high-quality, fun, and personally rewarding music education and life experience through the marching arts. Rhr promotes a positive, family-oriented, and goal-driven environment to help push its members to achieve high-performance levels while developing a good work ethic and character. The group spends its summers rehearsing and traveling around Ohio and other nearby states entertaining audiences in various settings including parades, stand-still concerts, marching band shows, judged marching competitions and special events.

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 some filed totals do not add up.
