WHAT
We seek collaboration with one or more companies in the form of sponsorship, since preference lies with input at both ends which it entails. Our primary thought is collaboration through sponsorship must lead to the benefit of us both.
WHO
The Sousa Tribute Band as professional civil Wind Orchestra a.k.a. Band, plays the music of John Philip Sousa, the ‘March King’. Sousa’s music carries the message of Freedom and is universally known as the Sound of Liberty.
Since we are in the business of drawing attention, music does that, we can carry another message as well, both indoors and outdoors. This way, our Band functions as mobile advertising medium, supporting the marketing/communication strategy of it’s sponsor(s), strengthening brand awareness of the company and/or companies involved.
WHY
USA250 is coming up. This will draw a lot of attention. We are preparing a six month tour to emphasize the historic relationship between the USA and The Netherlands. A fixed period like this, brings focus in reaching out to the customer base.
Most people enjoy the experience of live performances of Classically oriented Music. Especially if the music is ‘understood’ by all ages like Sousa’s music is. When you can go out to a concert with all generations in your family, it enhances the experience to the fullest.
