In just three months Smithills School Senior Band and their MD Chris Wormald have raised an incredible £32,600 towards their daunting £60,000 target to tour America for a fourth time this Summer.

Coffers

Consisting of sponsorship, concert fees, CD and calendars sales, shop sales and collections, the band will continue to boost their coffers in the coming months with a number of high profile concerts.

These will include the band performing at the Reebok Stadium for the Bolton Wanderers Premier League fixture against Liverpool and their annual ten hour, non-stop, sponsored rehearsal day, from 9am through to 7pm on the following day.

Every year, the sponsored rehearsal day raises over £4,000 and with the Reebok performance the day before, for which all band members receive a free ticket to the match, the band hopes to be banking well over £5,000 from the weekend.
