NEBB Music Director Douglas Yeo and his wife Patricia (who plays second baritone in the NEBB) purchased 100 Brass Band Aid CDs for a donation of $1000 to Brass Band Aid.

The Yeos donated the discs to the New England Brass Band which sold the CDs at its concerts for $15.00 each, resulting in an additional donation to Brass Band Aid of $1500.

The NEBB is also made a commitment to raise additional funds for Brass Band Aid during its 2006-07 season by donating 20% of the sales of the band's own CDs.

These three donations resulted in a total donation to Brass Band Aid of $4000.
