Is it important to build an audiance?
The short answer to the question is-Yes.
I could go into how it helps the kids feel supported and part of somethig, I could say that its a good way to validate your work, I could even go as far as saying it helps students understand why its so improtant to learn thier parts and play well together, but in my honest opinion, one thing stands out more than anything else is,
MONEY... The world spins on money (unfortunetly).
Most BOJC programs in America rely heavly on donations from members of the community. Seeing as bands are constantly trying to raise money so they can offored equipment, it's incredibly important to have a good and returning audiance.
Building a good audiance not only helps spread the word about the sucess of your program but it also enables you to recieve more charitable donations and support from the community. Dontations that are vital to your programs well being.
Of course its not all about the money, but at the end of the day, theres nothing like not having to worry about how your going to make ends meet in order for your program to strive.
