City of Swansea Concert Band



Sponsorship of the Band

What's in a sponsorship package for you?

By sponsoring the band, you will be helping to maintain an important music-making body in the City and County of Swansea. But beyond that, the advantages to you are that the band plays in a variety of locations throughout the Principality and can advertise your company. At the annual concert, previously in the Taliesin Theatre, Swansea University, there is normally a full house (330 seats) and many people in the audience have important business connections.

A few further points you might like to bear in mind if you are thinking about sponsorship:

bullet The band is independent: it has no ties or allegiances to any local authority body.
bullet We pay a minimum of £1,000 per annum to rehearse - the local authority does not help us.
bullet We provide a true community band.
bullet Our members come from all over the City of Swansea and beyond (Neath, Llanelli and elsewhere)

Programme Sponsorship

The Band performs a small number of indoor concerts every year (there is normally one in March, and there is our Main Concert in November or December).

The cost of programme sponsorship is £50.

The package includes:

bullet Sponsor's logo or name inside the programme.
bullet Two complimentary tickets for the concert.

We can also provide an A4-sheet programme for our outdoor concerts, which can be sponsored for £30. This includes the sponsor's logo on the programme sheet. 150 sheets provided.

Contact Gill Wildman on 07713 846454, email: gillw1956@icloud.com, for any further details.


Concert Sponsorship

The cost of sponsoring a full concert is £350, whatever the venue.

The package includes:

bullet Sponsor's name and/or logo on the outside of the programme and on all promotional material

bullet Six complimentary tickets for the concert plus Host for the evening.

This can be a discretionary amount given by the sponsor towards a specific musical item for a concert.

bullet Sponsor's name and logo on all band advertising and promotional material, and letterheads
bullet Sponsor's name prominent on the band Web site for the year

Donations

As an alternative to sponsoring a piece of music or concert as described above, you may wish to give a donation to the band. Any amount however small will be greatly appreciated and will help to keep the band running and providing entertainment to those in Swansea and beyond.


Wills & Bequests

The band is keen for previous band members, or indeed anyone who has enjoyed its music over the years, to help with a small donation in memory of a loved one.

By contacting the Band Secretary (see below) you can get details of how to organise a bequest from a loved one's estate.
