In any market, not just Columbia, performing with a group this large for money is nearly impossible. We do it in order to be able to play music we love, and hope you enjoy it as well. Each non-original piece of music you have heard tonight cost a member of the band between $50 and $200 to purchase. An original can take dozens of hours to compose and orchestrate.

If you enjoy what you've heard and would like to contribute to our music fund, we would appreciate any and all tips you'd be willing to give.

Note: we are NOT a non-profit and any kind of tip is not tax-deductible.
