|
| On March 31-April 1
the Fountain City Brass Band will be making its second
appearance at the North American Brass Band Championships in
Louisville, KY. The band will be performing two pieces, the test
piece Edward Gregson's Of Men and Mountains, and an own
choice work that due to the closed adjudication rules of NABBA
the band is not allowed to disclose until the competition. The
band has been rehearsing diligently and looks forward to putting
its best foot forward at the band portion of the competition on
April 1.

SUPPORT YOUR BAND
The Fountain City
Brass Band is an American Heritage Foundation.
As a non-profit
organization, the Fountain City Brass Band relies on grants and its
corporate and private supporters for financial assistance. Without
these generous tax deductible donations, our band could not continue
recruiting talented players for the band or giving this area the same
quality programs and guest artists.
Tickets sales
account for only half of the costs of each concert. Our goal is to
keep ticket prices within an affordable range so that all persons may
have access to the performances. In order to continue giving the
community the same level of quality band music, the band must raise
funds to offset our costs.
Our "Friends of the
FCBB" can choose from a variety of ways to assist us in producing the
same exquisite programs, often with gifted guest artists brought in
from all over the world. Outright gifts of cash, planned gifts and
fundraisers are all ways individuals and groups can ensure the
continued delivery of the timeless masterpieces and contemporary pops.
For more assistance
on planned giving and how to participate in our fundraisers, simply
call our office at (816) 305-4894 or email us at
fcbb@fcbb.net.
Tax deductible cash gifts may be mailed to Fountain City Brass Band,
Inc.,
PO Box 7119
Kansas City, MO 64113
