Thank you for taking the time to look at this suport package page.
This page gives the details of the financial support packages available
to show simply & clearly how you can help & support Derwent Brass
The costs of running a sucessful brass band are very high and it is the basics which are so frequently and easily overlooked, costs such as rehearsal room rent, heating & lighting, insurance, van hire for transport to concerts, coach hire for long distance engagements etc. Added to those 'basic' running costs are the specifiic costs associated with ongoing music purchase, new uniforms and existing uniform ongoing replacement instrument replacement (brass band instruments range from £1000 to £10,000 each, and there are 26 of them!) plus percussion instruments (eg single timpani approx £1500), instrument maintenance and the like. The initial costs of recording a CD can be in excess of £3000
Derwent Brass is an un-sponsored independent brass band, and is supported only by concert income, membership subscriptions, CD sales and any donations that are generously made. Any support that you can offer the band will of course be greatly appreciated, and will be used solely to support the running costs of the band as noted above. Financial support will not be used for payments or rewards to individual members of the band.
The support packages detailed below are tailored to provide different levels of support, however if you wish to engage in either higher level sponsorship of a specific project (eg new band uniform, new equipment, CD recording etc) or just wish to make a smaller donation please contact us
You can, if you wish do the whole process on line by simply clicking the application of your choice below and sending a cheque to the band. If you would prefer to talk to us, click the button below and will make contact with you very soon.
