Gabe92 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 From July 15th to August 9th, which would have been the dates of our 2020 DCI tour, the Stentors is holding it's annual campaign. Everyday we post material on our facebook page. Video from the past, audio snipet, "Did you know?" and a virtual tour of what would have been our tour this year. Feel free to "Like" the corps Facebook page. We are posting memories from the past, videos, audios a bit everyday for the lenght of the campaign. This 2020 campaign is certainly a different one. There is no corps, no tour... but more needs than in the past. Some will ask "how come, more needs?" and that is a good question. Well, the answer is quite easy... 97% of our revenus are between April and August of each year. On the other hand, our 82% of our expenses happen to be between April and August. There is 15% gap that need to be fund. A 40 000$ CAN. missing in the budget. Don't worry, it is not putting us in danger for the future. BUT, it is a step back. A big step back for an organisation that work hard to grow, get bigger, get better and aim higher in an difficult environment for a drum corps to survive. We were having a great momentum with a great 2019 season. It look like the corps would have been 35% bigger this year and spirit was high. Retention rate was at 80% with 2019 members. The corps was planning for an American West tour with a fight from Montreal to Vegas to start our tour in fashion. Help us keep that momentum for 2021. Let's fill that 15% gap in our budget that will allow us to start where it was stop last May. Here is the link to our GoFundMe page: https://gf.me/u/ygknp3 Thanks all! Stay safe, see you as soon as possible. The Stentors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe92 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 On Sunday night after finals... the Stentors usually arrive home in Canada. Before closing the season, the corps offer one last performance to a crowd of 500 enthousiats spectators. While all the talking is in french, excepts from almost all shows from the last 33 years will be in a language we all understand and love, DRUM CORPS! Join us for a final "hurrah" to 2020 and let's hope for a better 2021! Stay safe.
