Granite City Brass at the Scottish Championships 2025

Granite City Brass is gearing up for the National Brass Band Championships First Section Finals in Cheltenham this September, and we need your support to make it all possible!

Representing Scotland, we are committed to delivering a performance that not only reflects the passion and dedication of our musicians but also the strength of our local community. However, getting to Cheltenham—both in terms of travel and preparation—requires significant investment, and that's where you come in.

Why Your Support Matters

The total cost for the Cheltenham trip is estimated at £10,000. This includes expenses for transport, accommodation, and new off-stage uniforms that will help our band look just as professional as we sound.

This is a significant sum, and while we’re passionate about our music, we cannot do it alone.

That’s why we’re reaching out to individuals, local businesses, and organisations who want to support local culture, music, and the arts. Your donation or sponsorship will directly contribute to making this journey possible, and we’ve got some great benefits in return.

How You Can Support Us

1. Make a One-Off Donation

We are encouraging one-off donations from our supporters. No amount is too small—every penny helps us bring this fantastic performance to life.

💳 Donate today:

2. Become a Sponsor

We’re also offering a range of sponsorship packages starting from just £50. By becoming a sponsor, you’ll not only be helping the band but also gaining visibility for your business or organisation on the national stage.

Sponsorship packages range from £50 to £3,000, and each one offers unique benefits, such as:

Brand visibility on our promotional materials
Social media recognition and shout-outs on our platforms

These sponsorship opportunities are designed to be a mutually beneficial way to support the arts while promoting your brand to a wide and engaged audience.

📩 For more information on sponsorship or to receive a detailed Sponsorship Pack, please email us at: info@granitecitybrass.co.uk or click below.

3. Support in Other Ways

If you're not in a position to donate or sponsor but still want to show your support, sharing our posts on social media or spreading the word about our appeal is invaluable. Every bit helps!

Together, We Can Make This Happen

At Granite City Brass, we’ve always been proud to represent the North East of Scotland on the national stage. This year, we’re bringing our best to the First Section Finals in Cheltenham, and with your support, we’re determined to make it a performance to remember.

Join us on this exciting journey—let’s get to Cheltenham in style!

Granite City Brass is a registered charity, and all donations are gratefully received and go directly towards supporting the band’s ongoing development, contests, and community outreach.
