City of Bath Brass Band are a registered charity and are a non-profit-making organisation. In order for us to rehearse and perform we need to pay bandroom rent, buy music, instruments and uniform and much more. Our main income is through band subscriptions paid by members and income from concerts and event bookings. We don’t receive funding from anywhere else and struggle with large expenditure for instruments etc. We are therefore on the lookout for sponsors to help us in return for publicity for your company or organisation. We travel around the south west representing the City of Bath in contests and concerts so can guarantee some good coverage. Please get in touch if you would like to sponsor us.
Sponsor our music £50 a year
Every year City of Bath Brass Band needs to buy new music to keep our repertoire fresh and up to date. This includes test-pieces for the West of England Regional Finals. One piece of music can cost £100 plus.
In return we can offer:
Sponsor an instrument £100 a year
The band owns a full set of instruments which need constant repair and service. We also have a rolling programme of instrument replacement as sometimes sadly, instruments are uneconomical to repair. Ranging from cornets (£2000 plus) to Bb Bass (£9000), these instruments are costly to replace.
In return we can offer:
Sponsor a concert £200 a year
The band performs regularly in the local area and particularly enjoys performing in Bath City Centre. The cost of hiring a venue in the city and promoting a concert can be prohibitive.
In return we can offer:
Sponsor the Training Band £500 per year
The Training Band is a band in its own right creating a platform for learners and intermediate players to enjoy music and learn new skills. It’s open to all young and old, from school children to octogenarians! We want our Training Band to thrive for years to come by providing them with the best opportunities, tuition and music.
In return we can offer:
Sponsor a CD £2000 per CD
The band produces a CD approximately every 5 years at present but we’d like to make them more often. The cost of producing a high-quality CD can be a large expense.
In return we can offer:
Sponsor our new uniform £5000 for a new set
The band’s uniforms are well over 20 years old and in need of replacement to keep us looking smart. A new uniform set is likely to cost over £5000 to replace.
