All that proves is that you and Tim Hinton, like Slingerland, are focusing on the top corps and not considering how the rest of them operate - dare I say, the majority of them. (Although at this rate, it might not be the majority for much longer... ) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I've always naively hoped and assumed they were the latter. On paper they are one thing, in actuality they are another. However, the further down the line you go, you replace teaching the show, with teaching of fundamentals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the board has to "find the rest" of the season budget. Should an open class corps only be able to find 70 students before tour, they need to make up the rest of the budget they didn't get when they planned for 110 students. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obligatory: You need a mission statement to be able to be non profit, and to be able to bring in donations. You need to prove you mostly follow your mission for continuing to exist as a non profit. Mostly is the key word here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
