Kickstarter: 5 Days To Go!

To our devoted readers:

We have only FIVE days left to fulfill our goal on Kickstarter! While many might be fearful or filled with doubt, we are confident that with your help, we can get the word out on our project and get the big money supporters on board with our group's mission. The larger ticket rewards serve as true acts of philanthropy, offering band programs and the students involved a special opportunity to work with a professional brass ensemble in their own classroom.

The following is a very special thanks to the wonderful individuals who are helping us through this campaign. We hope that you all can go above and beyond your pledge and spread the word about our campaign via your social media outlets and at those crazy parties you all attend! Big thanks to the following:

Anna Kiel Martin
Winston
David & Fay Smith
Shelly Kellogg
Amanda Kaus
Ben Blotsky

OK, now for more editing and mixing. Let's make this happen!

We'd like to pose a challenge to each of our current pledgers: WE BET YOU CAN'T TELL 3 OF YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT OUR KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!

If all of our amazing "backers" got the word out to three of their friends, we'd have 111 more possible pledges to our campaign! So, please share our Kickstarter web page to all of your friends via Facebook, Twitter, and those blogs you're dedicated to updating daily! (Um, yeah, we're not so great at that either.)

Finally, we would like to say a simple thanks to all of you who have both donated and shared our project with others. We only have 10 days left and still have hope this project will launch. If we all work together, we won't need a miracle!

Happy Wednesday!

We're currently spending long hours in the office mixing the album and eating bad takeout/delivery food. We can't wait to get this project polished and perfected to send out to all who've graciously earned rewards!

Cheers!
