How to Sponsor

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".

LEARN how to Sell Ads to get money into your corps account!!! Be sure to read carefully! Go to: Selling ads

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.
