REPORT A CONCERN
The Battalion is committed to providing a safe and professional environment for young performers to achieve amazing things. When the behavior of other participants, our staff, or our volunteers is contrary to this committment, it is imperative we know about this behavior.
This page is intended to make it easy and safe to report issues so that we can take corrective action. Below is a reporting form. It can be filled out anonymously, but please remember that this limits our ability to follow up on an issue. Please report all of what you know. The more details we have, the more thorough the organization can investigate. Participants are not required to know the entire truth and are not responsible for investigating.
Below the form, you will find our Whistleblower Policy. This policy is in place to protect those who are willing to report issues to us.
