Potts Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 So I've already marched one year of corps, and I can't wait to do this next year. Last year though, I made the mistake of not being on board with the financial side right away. I was relying in donation letters, but unfortunately I sent them out a bit too late, about two weeks before tour was due, my mom didn't seem to happy when I had to ask her for $400 to cover the rest of the fee. Well, this year, I'm doing corps again, but now Ive found myself doing indoor drumline that's going to Dayton, so that just doubled the amount of fees I have due this year. Anyways, does anyone have any other fundraising suggestions? Also what are some good places to send donation/sponsorship letters to? Thank you! PS I didn't know exactly in which forum to put this in, so I chose brass since I'm primarily a brass player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You are not going to like my answer. This is like signing a contract with a car dealership for a Ferrari, which you cannot afford in the first place, then also signing a contract with another car dealership for a Porsche, which you also cannot afford, and then seeking the funds to pay for both. Before committing to anything of value, like a DCI corps or a WGI drum line you really need to know where the funds will come from 'prior' to signing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
