Crowdfunder - Help us with heating costs!
We now have a Crowdfunder project set up to raise donations to help us contribute to additional heating costs for our rehearsal space in The Well and are asking our supporters to support us by donating to this fund.
Players and instruments perform better when warm - the instruments warm up as we play, but cool rapidly in colder conditions, affecting tuning. By heating the hall to an adequate temperature, we improve rehearsal effectiveness, player comfort and enjoyment of making music, which translatesin the long term to better performances on the cometition stage and at concerts.
We would appreciate any donation no matter how small, and we all thank you for your continued support of Kilmarnock Concert Brass.

Co-op Community Fund - nominated cause!
We are delighted to announce that we have been selected as one of the Co-op Community Fund causes for 2022-23. This is a fabulous community fundraising venture which means that Co-op members in our local area (and 15 miles around it) can select us as their chosen Cause. Once selected by members, everytime they purchase own brand products in a Co-op store anywhere in the UK, every £1 spent will result in £0.01 being donated to the band.
We would be really grateful if our supporters would take the time to select us via their membership page online and start collecting funds for us. More details later, but information is available from Co-op.co.uk/membership on how to join the membership scheme and how to nominate Kilmarnock Concert Brass as your chosen cause.
