Can you help us attend the National contest?
NBS Nelson City Brass is seeking financial support to attend the National Contest in July.
Although the band is fortunate to have good local support from both the Nelson City Council and NBS, as an organisation we do have high and increasing overhead costs. We have limited funding to pay for bandroom running costs (power, rates, water, electricity, repairs), sheet music and instrument repair costs, senior, youth and social band expenses, new uniforms and uniform repairs, as well as additional expenses for concerts and competitions.
With the current economic situation several of our band members are struggling to finance their own way to the National Contest in Auckland this year. If you would like to support the band to be able to reduce the financial impact on players and assist us to attend the most important event on the New Zealand banding calendar, we would love to hear from you!
You can make a donation to the band through the following account: NBS 03 1354 0034931 00.
If you would like a receipt to claim a donation rebate please email David: treasurer@nelsonbrass.org.nz. David can also support you to target your donation to an individual player if you so wish.
Another great way to support the band is to attend our upcoming concert, Lest We Forget on Saturday 4 May.
Thank you for your ongoing support of NBS Nelson City Brass!
