Because of the use of volunteers to run the Bingo games for Ascend and because of this Federal Code, Ascend does not have taxable income from an unrelated business and will not be filing a 990T. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The draft 990 form is sent to all members of the Board of Directors for viewing and input before being filed with the IRS.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Program related expenses are for the private contractors who are educators, designers, choreographers, and staff who drive the rigs necessary to transport all of the equipment around during the summer tour as well as cooks, retail merchandise team, and administrative staff necessary to ensure a safe 11 week summer tour for the drum and bugle corps ensemble and for the winter percussion ensemble.
