Dear Friends and Patrons,

 We need your help.

 In a trend that is following the tough economy, local groups that have asked us to perform in the past do not have budget to do so again this year.  This has caused a shortfall in performance fees in this year’s Hanover Wind Symphony operating budget.  We need your help to keep the sound of music filling the air.

The Hanover Wind Symphony is one of the finest concert bands in the Northern New Jersey area.  Now in its 27^th season the Hanover Wind Symphony is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization passionately fulfilling its mission to bring “music to people and people to music.”

The ensemble serves the community by working with the next generation of musicians, and also by performing high quality concerts consisting of marches, toe-tappers, and standards while also presenting newer pieces written by currently active composers. Another way that the group serves the community is by providing a platform to showcase world-class artists. Some of these soloists include Joseph Alessi and Philip Smith of the New York Philharmonic; Patrick Sheridan, one of the world’s most famous Tuba players; Steven Mead, world renowned Euphonium soloist and recording artist; and Dr. Paul Cohen, the world’s premier classical Alto Saxophone soloist.

We have decided to develop a concert ad journal which will allow for our patrons and local establishments to show their support of the Wind Symphony by advertising.  This can be in the form of straight ad copy, or in the form of a promotional coupon. You can even include your website which we will link to the Hanover Wind Symphony website and list you as one of our patrons!

We have support levels to fit various budgets.

We hope you will support the local arts by supporting the Hanover Wind Symphony.

Sincerely,

Philip Hughes
