The Oklahoman
Oklahoma, USA - Sante Fe South Charter Schools seeks a truck sponsor for its steel drum band. The band, Pandemic, is made up of the high school’s top students.
Santa Fe South High School is alive with the sound of percussion music.
Every weekday at noon the students in Scott Filleman’s band class file into a large classroom, taking their places at their instruments. But this isn’t a typical band class, and these kids are not a typical group. They’re Santa Fe’s steel drummers.
....Pandemic’s growing numbers have one serious downside. Transporting the drums, some of which are roughly the size of a 100-gallon barrel, is a logistic nightmare.
....Moving in what Filleman calls a “caravan” is difficult and inefficient, and has restricted the distance the band can travel. They perform at University of Oklahoma events, and at Redhawks games every year, but have fewer out-of-state opportunities.
....“We were looking at a steel band competition in Texas this year, and one in West Virginia,” Filleman said. “Getting there is not possible right now. Those are the things we’d like to do, we just can’t do them.”

How about they doing a Go Fund Me drive? That could work as well as sponsorship or in addition to sponsorship.
