Northshore Music Alliance

The Covington Concert Band has produced 10 concerts since our inception in 2021, all free of charge. In fact, our mission is to provide high quality concerts to the public for free. However, these free concerts do have hidden costs that require a funding source. The average cost for producing a concert is nearly $6000. We actively pursue grants from various agencies to help fund our activities, but the majority of our funding is currently provided by sponsorships and your generous donations. We thank you for your donations and referrals to benefactors and businesses who are willing to contribute to our success. Your donation helps to cover:

• Sheet Music Purchases

• Performance Licensing Fees

• Performance Liability Insurance

• Venue Rental

• Equipment Transportation

• Guest Appearance Fees

Everything you give goes to the creation of great free concerts for our local area. Please help us meet our goal for this fund raiser and know you were a part of keeping the music alive. The CCB is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization so your donation is completely tax deductible. Thank you!

The Covington Concert Band is currently in its third year of existence and has grown to seventy active volunteer members. With rapid growth comes the need for better instruments, specifically larger stationary instruments. These instruments are required to perform our music as the composers intended. Unfortunately, these larger musical instruments are very expensive.

Our biggest current need is a concert bass drum (as shown above). This large drum (36" dia. x 22") will be used at weekly rehearsals and performances. Ninety-nine percent of our repertoire can't be performed without one. Currently, we are using a very old and tattered converted marching bass drum for this purpose.

Our goal for this fundraiser is to raise enough capital to purchase a proper concert bass drum. Please consider donating to help us achieve this goal. By doing so you'll play an important role in our musical growth. And of course, all donations are tax deductible.

THANKS!
