Long Bay Symphony deserves more funding

I am disappointed to see the current distribution of monies such as a country concert being allotted $75,000, versus Long Bay Symphony getting only $50,000.

Our wonderful symphony orchestra is for all, but especially Myrtle Beach area residents to enjoy; the country concerts are just for attracting mostly outsiders to make money for the promoters and entertainers so that attendees can make a mess and raise cain. I will add that the symphony has been here a lot longer attracting more civil attendees.
