What Marquette City Band Inc does
Mission
The marquette city band (mcb) exists to perform artistically engaging concert music for the marquette community, to carry on the proud tradition of a community band that has existed in marquette for more than a century, to provide an opportunity for young musicians to experience playing in an advanced music ensemble, and to provide an opportunitity for adults to continue performing high level traditional and contemporary band repetoire beyond their high school and college years. Part iii - 4a - program service accomplishments - concert series the mcb provides free concerts for the marquette community to enjoy, performing a series approximately six concerts for the public each summer, with additional goodwill concerts for specific community populations, such as a veterans homes and summer camps for children with special needs. These typically see approximately 300-500 attendees each performance. In addition, we perform two concerts during the winter season, also free for the public, wit
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Typically the organization has only filed a 990-n as our gross receipts were always below 50,000. This year, the organization has been tasked with fundraising for a capital campaign for the construction of a new performance venue, the peg hirvonen band shell project. Our previous venue over 90 years old and was determined to be structurally unsound and was condemned for use. Without a designated performance venue, our organization performed in multiple locations across the city to deliver our summer concert series. This took significant logistical coordination, increased costs for performance (truck rentals for moving equipment, increased equipment moving pay and sound reinforcement costs). Without a consistent performance venue, our audience was inconvenienced and likely influenced our operational donations for the city band. In addition, we branched out with our fundraising efforts. Typically we rely only on patron donations (pass the hat at concerts) or city, state, federal, and foundation grants. With the significant fundraising need for the construction project, we needed to expand fundraising efforts, including allowing for stock transfer donations.
