Sponsors & Friends

Hyde Band is a not-for-profit organisation and charity. All playing members pay an annual subscription to belong to the band and any funds raised from gigs are added to the band's bank account to cover the day-to-day running costs. For example, rent for the rehearsal room, purchase and maintenance of instruments, new music, costs associated with transferring equipment to and from rehearsal venues and entrance fees to contests to name just a few. Players and band Directors never receive payment for attending gigs or supplying a service to the band.

Elliotts Builders Merchant

Hyde Band are very proud to be sponsored by Elliotts Builders Merchant and would like to thank them for their continued support.

Supporting Hyde Band

There are several ways you can support Hyde Band, other than making a booking for the band to appear at your event. If you own or represent a business and would like some publicity, or a regular booking then we can discuss potential sponsorship arrangements. If you are an individual then you can "Become a Friend of Hyde Band", "Sponsor a Player" and/or make a donation. Each of these options are discussed in more depth below.

Become a Friend of Hyde Band

We have just launched our new "Become a Friend of Hyde Band" scheme. The scheme is very simple in concept, but promises to be very rewarding for all. Our supporters are very important to the band. The regular following that you all provide ensures we can continue providing high quality concerts for local audiences to enjoy and in turn give all our players enjoyment from their hobby.

The scheme provides you, the follower of our band further opportunity to support our organisation. For £10 per year you can benefit from the following:

• A quarterly newsletter (delivered to your home, or by email)
• Discount on selected concert tickets
• Hyde Band supporters pin badge
• Invitation to annual Friends' events

If you are interested in becoming a Friend, please see our Contact page.

Sponsor a Player

Perhaps you would prefer to support a particular player as opposed the band as a whole. If so, then why not consider our Sponsor a Player scheme? You can sponsor a player for as little as £25 per year. If you are interested in sponsoring a player, please see our Contact page.

Make a donation

In the past we have been very lucky to receive various donations from various sources. These donations are always gratefully received and recognised in our quarterly newsletter. If you would like to make a donation to the band, please see our Contact page.
