Current Sponsors What's Needed Donate

About MCB as a Charitable Organization
The Middlesex Concert Band is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under Massachusetts laws and is registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with the IRS, so all qualified donations to MCB are tax-deductible.

The band's operating budget comes exclusively from ticket sales, donations and concert fees; we are not affiliated with any municipality or other institution. All band members are volunteers and are not compensated for their time or travel. Our main operating expenses come from our rehearsal space rental fees, conductor stipend, and purchasing new music and equipment.

What you can do to help
Not all contributions have to be financial, so there's always a way YOU can help!

  • Purchase a much-needed musical score. Music typically costs $100-$150 per piece and our library is in dire need of updated music we'd love to play for you!

  • Buy an ad in our Summer Playbill, seen by over thousands of concert-goers throughout the summer, for as little as $25. Visit the Advertising page for more details.

  • Buy an ad in our Pops Playbill. Produced twice a year, Spring and Fall, in association with our combined Pops concerts with The Wakefield Choral Society.

  • Buy a banner on our website. Sizes available are 468x60, 125x125, 120x60. Contact webmaster for pricing.

  • Donate printing services for our playbills -- get a free ad or tickets!

  • Donate moving van services or the cost of a Ryder Truck rental. Each performance not held in Wakefield requires a small box truck to move all the percussion equipment. Sponsor one trip or the full summer (approximately 10 trips).

  • Donate a collapsable Manhasset music stand or the value of a music stand. The band currently does not own any music stands, each player must provide his/her own. The cost of each stand is $50.

  • Help us purchase needed equipment:
    Orchestra Chimes
    4 Timpani : IBM has generously started us off with a $2,000 contribution towards new timpani. Please consider helping us with the rest!
