Scor Camp Tour our national tour of 12 camps educational conferences was not able to be offered, due the overall Covid-19 pandemic environment, government declared emergencies and shutdowns, and the fact that most of our venues would not host our events. Previuosly served about 360 people. Served 0 in 2021. This represents a catastrophic loss for our organization and what weve built for many years, as represented by numerous asset write-offs/downs indicated in Part I Line 20. We will need to rebuild a tour differently in the future. We are grateful for the generous support of donors that sustained us through this difficult season, in addition to PPP loans that enabled payroll support for a period of time.

Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line 29

Express Program In this season, we recognized the loss of our intended clients schools. Schools are no longer viable clients for our Express program workshops, given their broad requirements which infringe on Expresss operational requirements and the needs of our staff. We plan to rebuild the Express brand and program completely different from the original iteration. 0 Clients served in 2021.

Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line 30

Scor String Experiences for Adults During the 2nd year of our national tour being shutdown see line 28 detail above, we began development of a comprehensive online program of educational opportunities. Held at the new website www.ScorStrings.com, clients can find online membership and course opportunities. Membership consists primarily of an educational video library, and live-interactive classes online. Multi-week courses are offered various times throughout the year, focusing on various string-playing techniques and also on specific pieces of music. The online program was launched to the public in Sept of 2021, near the end of our fiscal year. Approx. 45 people participated at that time. We also worked on plans for holding in-person events again, starting first with multiple events in our area. We also developed some plans and assets to prepare for future tours in other locations.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt33Scor Camp Tour our national tour of 12 camps educational conferences was not able to be offered, due the overall Covid-19 pandemic environment, government declared emergencies and shutdowns, and the fact that most of our venues would not host our events. Previuosly served about 360 people. Served 0 in 2021. This represents a catastrophic loss for our organization and what weve built for many years, as represented by numerous asset write-offs/downs indicated in Part I Line 20. We will need to rebuild a tour differently in the future. We are grateful for the generous support of donors that sustained us through this difficult season, in addition to PPP loans that enabled payroll support for a period of time.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt34Express Program In this season, we recognized the loss of our intended clients schools. Schools are no longer viable clients for our Express program workshops, given their broad requirements which infringe on Expresss operational requirements and the needs of our staff. We plan to rebuild the Express brand and program completely different from the original iteration. 0 Clients served in 2021.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt35Scor String Experiences for Adults During the 2nd year of our national tour being shutdown see line 28 detail above, we began development of a comprehensive online program of educational opportunities. Held at the new website www.ScorStrings.com, clients can find online membership and course opportunities. Membership consists primarily of an educational video library, and live-interactive classes online. Multi-week courses are offered various times throughout the year, focusing on various string-playing techniques and also on specific pieces of music. The online program was launched to the public in Sept of 2021, near the end of our fiscal year. Approx. 45 people participated at that time. We also worked on plans for holding in-person events again, starting first with multiple events in our area. We also developed some plans and assets to prepare for future tours in other locations.

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our extension for this 2020 990-EZ was filed late including a reasonable cause letter, because I was seriously ill starting Jan. 1 2021. I landed in the hospital in early January, 600 miles from home/office, intubated/unconscious for 3 weeks and a total of 7 weeks in the hospital. I left the hospital on March 1 2021, filed the extension as soon after that as I could, amidst my continued recovery. I am the sole employee in our organization responsible for all government filings. My wife is the other employee, and she doesnt do the gvmnt filings, not to mention that she was constantly attending to my care during that time. I timely-filed this form 990-EZ on 8/15/21 using the newly required e-filing. However, today on 8/16 I received notice that the e-filing was rejected due to a missing name for a contributor. My HR Block Business software did not indicate that was an error, and my initial reading of the IRS instructions seemed to indicate in 2 places that name address wasnt required, but apparently I was mistaken. In general, I found the e-fling process via affordable software to be very problematic, clunky, and it took considerably more time to prepare our filing than on paper. Id appreciate our return to be considered filed on 8/15/21, as that is when I submitted it. Thank you. Kyle Bultman, CEO
