How to Support the Band -- Burlington Iowa Municipal Band

Like all organizations the Burlington Municipal Band has expenses. We are grateful to the Henry and Elsie Starker Memorial Trust for its support in covering our regular operating expenses and to the City of Burlington which generously provides our rehearsal space (Memorial Auditorium), houses our equipment and our music library and maintains the band shell and its beautiful setting in Crapo Park. We are also grateful to the Burlington Fine Arts League which has, for several years, generously provided the band with grants which have enabled the purchase of new music, our PA system and percussion equipment.

With the costs of music and equipment continuing to rise, however, this support, generous as it is, cannot fully cover the band's needs. Because of this, it is our hope that our audience and others who are interested in supporting the band's efforts will help with financial support. In recent years, some have chosen to remember loved ones by establishing memorials in their name for the band. If you would like to make a contribution to the band you can send a check to either of these addresses:

If you have questions please feel free to call Sue Kristensen at 319-752-5764 or Jim Priebe at 319-752-7305. Your support will be greatly appreciated!

Please make the check payable to the Burlington Municipal Band and enclose a note or write on the check that it is a contribution to the band plus memorial information if the gift is a memorial.
