Anyone that knows me, knows that I would love nothing more than to be able to donate to the band. At this time, the only donation I can handle is the minimum LTAC donation. Times are tough.Quote:

That takes forever. Marching season will be well over with until you even smell the grant money. I've done it before.Quote:

You can potentially get thousands of dollars from the grant committee. I'm not sure what the timeline is, but it's definitely worth looking into for other projects. The SGA $200 matching funds just takes a little over a week to get.Quote:

There are A LOT of things we need replaced/fixed and I'm talking about thousands of dollars. It will costs us $2,000 alone just to get them repaired. Not including new neck and bits, mouthpieces, cases fixed/replaced. I'm doing my best to try and do different fundraisers and events to generate more funds. That is the main reason why I've asked for suggestions/assistance. Anything you can do to help works no matter how big or small.
Wait -- I thought you said $200 ... ????Quote:

Got it. Thanks.
What is a tuba pouch? You can probably find a cheap hand gun case for 10 bucks. It would work better.Quote:

There isn't much storage space in the cases we have now. The only place we could store it is under the bell. However every time we move the cases could cause damage to the bell. These will keep them separated and in one place.Quote:

every game we are playing a student arranged song most of them are hip hop/current music.
I love the current music arrangements. Tubas and low brass need to crank it a little more, IMO. Don't let me down. :)Quote:

6. DO NOT DROP MOUTHPIECE, NECK & BITS!!!!!!
Follow these rules and they will last a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time. I still have my mouthpiece from middle school, almost 20 years ago...
Start imposing fines, I threatened that at one point as section leader, and I definetly setup a pushup punishment for drops.
