Sponsorship
Nottingham Concert Band is an entirely self-financing organisation, balancing members' subscriptions and appearance fees
with ongoing overheads such as the hire of rehearsal facilities, the cost of music, insurance premiums and subsidised uniforms. All players provide their own
instruments and are responsible for their insurance and upkeep, usually at considerable personal cost.
Concert Sponsorship
Sponsorship to meet the overheads of individual concerts is of enormous benefit, particularly where the aim of the event
is to raise funds for a nominated charity or worthy cause.Concert Sponsors are rewarded with complimentary tickets and inclusion in both the programme and
commentary, together with credits in pre- and post-event publicity material and on the Nottingham Concert Band website.
Recent concerts and other activities have
been sponsored by:
Shop Smart
Waitrose Community Matters
Nottingham City Council Community and Cultural Board
Councillor Gordon Wheeler (Nottinghamshire County Council)
Councillor Gordon Wheeler (Nottinghamshire County Council)
Their support is much
appreciated.
Corporate Sponsorship
On a grander scale, Nottingham Concert Band is also actively seeking Corporate Sponsors on a seasonal or even annual contract
basis. This would enable the band to invest in such areas as new uniforms, professional music stands, a PA system and large items of percussion kit.
Corporate
Sponsors would be entitled to complimentary tickets, inclusion in all band programmes, on the website and the cover of any CD and in publicity material.
During the course of the sponsorship contract, members of the band - comprising either the full band or smaller ensembles - would also be available to perform
for corporate functions.
Further exposure of the band/sponsor relationship, perhaps through use of the sponsors' logo on stand banners or even on uniforms,
may also be considered, depending on the terms of the agreement.
