About

ASO expenses relate mostly to creating content, a fact more evident in ASO's audited financial statements than in the 990 . For example, the $197,214 "functional expenses" figure (Part IX, line 25) does not fully include ASO's program investments that are partially listed under "intangible assets" (see Part X, line 14). Also, not listed is the contributed value (performers, , venue, audio production, etc) by the gov't funded U.S. Marine Corps band to the three programs produced in 2018 . IF the ASO had to pay for services of similarly qualified top musicians and production specialists the cost are estimated by ASO at $600,000 for three programs
