For over 61 years, Minnesota Brass has entertained audiences and provided a rich drum corps experience for young and old, inexperienced and experienced musicians, dancers and flag spinners. Each new season we search for innovative ways to bring fresh, challenging and entertaining shows to the field while preserving all that is important from our heritage. Sustaining that tradition and competing at a high level with the best corps in the nation becomes increasingly expensive every year.

The "Under the Lights" annual fund campaign is the single best way to help ensure the future of the corps. Your contribution plays an important and integral role in keeping the corps "Under the Lights."

Funds raised during the annual campaign are used for many purposes including equipment and uniform expenses, rental of rehearsal facilities, food for weekend camps, corps housing, travel expenses, instructional and design stipends and scholarships for deserving marchers. The fund helps keep dues affordable for our marching members to make sure that finances never stand in the way of a great drum corps experience.

While the kick-off of the 2007 campaign will be through the mail in early June, contributions in the form of cash, one-time or extended credit card pledges, stock, planned giving through trusts or wills, or on-line giving through Just Give are all welcome at any time throughout the year. They all help MBI.

If you would like to send in a donation, you can print out this form and send it to the Minnesota Brass mailing address shown at the bottom of the form. Thanks for all you do and for being a treasured member of the Minnesota Brass family.
