This activity would become the center point of my life and passion. There are MANY drum corps of varying sizes all over America as well as the world. Its a very expensive undertaking financed by grants, donations, souvenir sales during the summer but mostly thru member fees. And thru the years those fees for top ranked corps have reached into the thousands of dollars per year. Thats where this idea came from. HOW TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR EVERY DRUM CORPS AT ONE TIME?
I began writing and submitting business plans and ideas to the head of marketing at Drum Corps International. Idea after idea were deemed good..but not good enough. And after well over 200 attempts, Helping Thru Humors platform was hatched. ONE comedy show via the internet that MULTIPLE organizations could benefit from by merely having their fans, friends, alumni and family log onto from their phones, tablets, smart TVs or computers. At little or no cost to the organizations involved.
And as I worked towards making this a reality for the drum corps activity Ioved…it dawned on me that there were many more ways this platform could be used. There was the high school and college marching bands. There was indoor colorguards and drumlines.. there were MANY large groups of like minded activities and non profit organizations that could benefit from this platform.
