Hello guys. My marching band is planning on travelling to Kerkrade in Holland for the World Music Contest in July. But there is a problem, the cost for the travel and accommodation is £11,235.30. Sadly as we are a self funded organization we cannot afford to go at the moment and are around £6000 short. This is very worrying because as the only band from England that has qualified for the World Championships it will be very sad if we cannot go. We are looking for donations from companies that anyone knows (or millionaires) that would be willing to sponsor us.
It is mainly for the English folk on the server because to donate the band must be supplied with your company name, address, phone number and name of person who we (the band) should contact for a application form.
I know it’s a long shot. But we need £6000 in a short space of time and we have represented England at the last 7 world championships.
I actually know someone who may help you out…honestly i do…
You may not of heard of him but his name is Jeff Hazlet. (Idk how to spell his last name). He is my godmother’s husband. He has made appearences in some movies i cant list either. Once i get the proper information, Ill send it to you.
If you’re representing England, then perhaps the Royal family or government should sponsor you? Doubt that would be possible though, seeing as I’ve heard they’re all snotty.
That will be the last resort. We are going to go to the regional news channel and the breakfast television shows and we are going to beg lol…
We last held a concert in December. The band has 85 playing members and staff so I’m not sure how many playing members that is, and the band hall holds about 200 people. But we are busy preparing our music for the worlds and Sweden international Music Tattoo in May, so we are very busy and wouldn’t be able to learn pieces for a concert as well.
