Sponsoring a
Talented Corps Member of Today/Tomorrow!
|
If you are
interested in sponsoring a young man or woman's season with a drum
and bugle corps, either in full or part, please contact a corps'
secretary for a complete description of the process. Many talented
young men and women are unable to participate in the drum corps
experience with drum corps due to their inability to meet the
financial obligations.
Drum and bugle corps has become an expensive proposition when you
consider the cost of operating a rolling stock of four/five coach
busses, two tractor trailers (food/equipment), a souvenir vehicle
and trailer, plus a station wagon and a van for mobility while on
the road. Add to that the cost of horn and percussion and color
guard equipment, plus the cost of feeding a small, voracious army,
and you can see why they need help.
A sponsorship for a member can be a
full or partial sponsorship. A full sponsorship is the corps full
corps fee, and a partial sponsorship is whatever you are willing to
donate. |

|
Each corps has their
own way in sponsoring someone. Most corps are Not-for-profit
organizations and you can claim
your donation as a
501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax deductible to the fullest
extent of the law. You can
support some by
joining their "friends of X corps". |

One great place to get your
name out in view for all to see is to go onto
CORPSREPS.COM
It's a place where
you can have someone write to you so you can express your interest in
sponsoring. Tell them your story (history in drum corps, reason you need
money). All the individuals listed must have established member profiles
where they can read by clicking on your name. Your profile generally
includes a statement about your need for sponsorship.

For those individuals
who are unable to march due to financial restraints, don't threat.

an instrument, AND GET PAID FOR IT!!! You can possibly become
