The hard fact of the matter is that organizations like drum corp, nonprofit sport organizations,and other youth and social activities are all in jeopardy under the present system we now suscribe to. Unlike years ago, when organizations like drum corp would have been thought of as a benefit to the community that were building character and structure for our youth, it is no longer looked at in that vein. There is no consideration any longer,and no support either financially or morally from any of our governments, be it state ,or national
Lets face it ,there is not any consideration from tax people that they are ending the participation of 500 young people (velvet knights-Troopers,and others) from character building activities because of some miniscule amount of money on the grand scale. If anything, the government should have been contributing to these organizations rather than helping to demolish them. Owing the bank is a different deal! there is no getting away from that. Perhaps if the government invested a tiny amount of money in our national youth, these organizations that struggle to provide a venue for our talented young people would not find themselves in these financial situations.... There certainly seems to be plenty of money for any amount of inane,pointless, non productive organizations..
