The band I'm involved with, "The Lowcountry Community Band" was launched in March of this year in Beaufort County, SC and is sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute; a division of the Univ. of S. Carolina. We get no financial backing from the college. This was culmination of a three year vision of a small group of retired music teachers and professionals.
Steps are being taken for non-profit status (beneath the radar of the school).
As a band council member, I would appreciate the opportunity to review your groups by-laws to get some ideas for our next council meeting on the 8th of January. PM or e-mail me.
I have learned a great deal on this forum and I thank you for your consideration.
Jim Colwell
