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". |
