The costs of music has gone up. It now costs us close to $75 per new title for our group. We do our best to keep these costs low by purchasing on enough copies that are needed for each performance or by purchasing downloadable music to save costs.
Each program that we present and offer printed programs cost us about $100. We try to cut cost by offering QR codes that lead the listener to an electronic file. There are also other print materials that we occasionally produce that add to print costs.
To offer a fuller and broader range of music to our audiences, we would loke to add bass bells to our set. These bells come in bronze and/or aluminum with each bell costing around $3500 or more per bell.
As we add more bells, we need to also add some additional equipment which may include more tables, pads and covers along with mallets. We have a wide range of percussion equipment, but on occasion may need something new or replace broken pieces.
There are times when bells or chimes simply wear-out. When that happens we need to replace a casting, chime, the clapper mechanisms, spring or handles. These are part of our regular operating costs.
