<div>Help Betteshanger Colliery Brass Band Reach the National Finals
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are incredibly proud to share that **Betteshanger Colliery Brass Band** has been crowned **London &amp; Southern Counties Regional Champions for the third consecutive year** — an achievement that reflects the dedication, passion, and talent of our musicians.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This success means we have once again qualified for the **National Finals in York** — a prestigious opportunity to represent our region on the national stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, getting there comes at a cost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To attend the finals, we need to raise **£5,000**, which will cover essential expenses such as:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Transport to York
</div>
<div>* Music and performance materials
</div>
<div>* Rehearsal spaces to prepare at the highest level
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a community band, we rely heavily on local support to make opportunities like this possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out to our wonderful community and local businesses to help us on this journey. One of the ways businesses can get involved is by **sponsoring a chair**.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are **28 performers** heading to the finals:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* **25 brass players**
</div>
<div>* **3 percussionists**
</div>
<div>Two furthers seats of our
</div>
<div>*** Musical Director ***
</div>
<div>*** Band President **
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can sponsor a chair for **£200**, directly supporting one of our musicians on their journey to York. In return, we will proudly **promote your business across our social media channels and on our website**, helping to showcase your support for local arts and talent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to representing our community with pride on the national stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are a local business, organisation, or individual who believes in supporting the arts and local talent, we would be incredibly grateful for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
