Business as usual for Macclesfield

Macclesfield Youth Band launch Business Supporters Club.

Macclesfield Youth
 

Macclesfield Youth Band recently launched their Business Supporters Club, with something of a musical extravaganza.

Neish support

The band played alongside tuba virtuoso Les Neish who joined them to give his support and to entertain the local business people and the MP of the town.

The initiative provides local business people to help the band through sponsorship packages which offer a combination of promotional opportunities including logos on pop up displays, web links, etc throughout the year.

Promote

MD Louise Renshaw, told 4BR: "It’s a real chance for us to work in conjunction with local businesses to promote our excellent work whilst giving something back to our sponsors. We are a local charity and need local support to help us to continue to grow and encourage more children to get involved with music and the enjoyment it brings."

We already have a great following and we wanted to explore new opportunities to provide a structure for local businesses to play a part in the band’s successLouise Renshaw

Funding

With over 120 children aged 7 to 19 years in the three bands, the money raised from the Business Club will fund additional instruments, music, rehearsal rooms and allow the band to aspire to new heights and ambitions.

Great following

Louise added: "We already have a great following and we wanted to explore new opportunities to provide a structure for local businesses to play a part in the band’s success and gain recognition in return."

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.
