Introducing the FredBrass Ambassadors Program
The Fredericksburg Brass Institute has maintained their mission in providing a world-class brass festival at a low cost for over 5 years now. As we continue to bring in these phenomenal artists and faculty, funding becomes more and more difficult to come by without having to raise the tuition rates for the students. We want to provide this type of musical instruction and make it as cost-effective as possible, but we can't do that without YOUR help!
The FredBrass Ambassadors are a group of people that help sponsor certain aspects of the festival. Whether that be donating funding to help house our faculty, assisting the costs of one of the participant's tuition, providing meals, or sponsoring the FredBrass Composition Competition, we are always looking for new and effective ways for members of the community to be part of the festival. If you think you might be able to assist us in helping maintain this festival as one of the up-and-coming brass camps in the country, please reach out!
As part of the FredBrass Ambassadors program, you will be invited to participate in events behind the scenes of the festival. Here are just a few of the perks!
- Your name in the #FredBrass18 Program, with an added description of your financial involvement in the festival
- Your name on for the 2018 Calendar year, as well as the description of your financial involvement in the festival
- An invitation to the FredBrass18 Ambassadors Dinner at the housing location for the FredBrass18 faculty!
- Free FredBrass18 T-Shirt, Recording of the FredBrass18 Faculty Concert, and a signed poster
