TRINITY CHRISTMAS BRASS SPONSORS NEEDED
On Christmas Eve, the musical forces of Trinity Episcopal Church will be augmented with a five-piece brass ensemble, the Trinity Christmas Brass, and a timpanist. We are currently seeking sponsors for this ensemble, which consists of two trumpets, French horn, trombone, tuba, and timpani.
The cost of each instrument is $250.00. If you are interested in sponsoring an instrument, you may request which one you would like to support, or you may simply make a sponsorship to the Trinity Christmas Brass in general. In the happy event that there are multiple sponsors for a single instrument, the first sponsor will be given their choice. Other sponsors will be contacted and asked if they would like to sponsor another available instrument or another musical item, e.g. the choir anthem score or a hymn arrangement. If you are unable to entirely sponsor one instrument, joint sponsorships are welcome. Sponsors will be listed in the Christmas Eve bulletin.
Thank you for your considering sponsoring the Trinity Christmas Brass, enlivening our Christmas celebration, and supporting local musicians!
