Chair Sponsorship

 

The key to a successful Band is the quality of the individual players within its ranks. At CMFCB, we are fortunate to have some of the most gifted musicians in the country whose talent and commitment help keep the Band amongst the finest Brass Bands in the World!

 

The Chair Sponsorship programme is an opportunity for you to be associated with one of the Band’s players and to link your name with a position in the Band. By supporting the player of your choice, your gift will help us ensure that CMFCB continues to develop artistically, by attracting and retaining musicians and Musical Advisors of the highest quality possible!

*What’s the difference between a ‘Chair’ and a player? Sometimes, players have to leave the band…but a player’s position or ‘Chair’ always remains!
