Sponsorship
The band is sponsored by South West Telecoms, part of the South West Communications Group based in Exeter.
We are very fortunate to receive this extra help on top of our earnings through contest winnings and engagements. Since this sponsorship the band have been able to purchase a new set of uniforms and banners, music stands, a top of the range drum kit, tubular bells, a number of brass instruments and lots of music. The sponsorship has also helped the band fund trips to 6 National Finals in the past 10 years. The band have also just bought a new set of jackets after nearly 10 years of use from the previous ones.
South West Telecoms has strong connections with Sandy Park (Exeter Conference Centre) and Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club (where Tony Rowe, the Managing Director of South West Telecoms, is the Chairman). The band were lucky enough to be asked to play at the grand opening of Sandy Park, the new home of the Exeter Chiefs Rugby club in September 2006.
Tony Rowe and South West Telecoms also have connections with Matford Buisness Centre, Portchester Buisness Centre, Exeter Round Table, Wooden Spoon Charity, Vranch House School and Hospiscare Exeter, Mid and East Devon.
