Patrons
Business Patrons
Why you are needed
The Patrons scheme has been set up as part of a determined effort by the band to lift our financial position and boost support from the local community. Unlike most other local bands, we have a three tier organisation which means considerable costs, including:
Replacement and repair of instruments Insurance
Music Hire of coaches
Uniforms Stationery
Support from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, donations from individuals, concerts, local sponsors, social events, and even playing Christmas Carols outside Shops & in Pubs have all helped us to achieve our current position. Whilst we are a non-profit making organisation we do need to invest in our band if we are to continue to support and nurture our young players and compete at the highest level of the local Brass Band scene.
