Students with instruments and Naples Big Band mentors at Golden Gate Middle School

HELP US SUPPORT YOUNG MUSICIANS!

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Each of our admission-free shows costs over $1500 to produce, including costs for advertising/public relations, fees for park and band shell rental, sound engineering, rental cost of rehearsal and music storage facilities, cost of printed items & programs, plus numerous administrative fees & expenses.

The Naples Big Band is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Thanks to you, our donors -

  • We’re able to provide free public performances.
  • We nurture the development of local youths with our financial support.
  • We get instruments into the hand’s of local school children who can’t afford them.

****In recent years, students in the following schools received instruments - Immokalee Middle School, Corkscrew Middle School, Golden Gate Middle School & Cypress Palm Middle School.
