It's that day of the month again when supporting artists generates even more (real) revenue for them... At 08:00 UK-time the 40th Bandcamp Friday goes live. You'll still pay the same, but the platform itself takes no cut, waiving its revenue share. Bandcamp hosts independent (DIY) artists, as well as labels. I support Bandcamp. Founded in 2008, it's based on taking a revenue share of sales. Their share is 15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods. Payment processor fees are separate and vary depending on the size of the transaction, but for an average size purchase, amount to an additional 4-7%. The remainder, usually 80-85%, goes directly to the artist or their label, and they pay out daily. Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists.

After the festivities, it’s time to unwind. 🛋️ We hope you’re enjoying a well-deserved rest today, whether that’s indulging in leftovers, watching your favourite films, or catching up with loved ones. Take it easy! You’ve earned it. #BoxingDay #TimeToRelax #SelfCare #CommunityFirst #Connect2TalentSolutions

Marching band competitions are a tradition filled with energy, passion, and precision—but behind the scenes, the planning is often anything but smooth. As founders of Marching Maestro, we’ve seen firsthand the overwhelming complexity that goes into organizing these events. From juggling band registrations, volunteer coordination, and ticket sales to managing concessions and ensuring fair scoring—it’s a massive undertaking that takes dozen of volunteers and countless hours of organization. We knew there had to be a better way, which is why we created Marching Maestro. Our vision? To bring all these moving parts into one powerful software platform, making it easier for band directors and booster groups to plan, execute, and enjoy their competitions without the stress and hassle. We believe that organizing a band competition should be as harmonious as the music it showcases. Marching Maestro is designed to streamline every aspect of event management, so directors can focus on what they do best—guiding their students and giving their best performance. Join us on this journey to simplify the world of marching band competitions. Let’s make the process as spectacular as the performances themselves. 🎶 #MarchingMaestro #MarchingBand #BandDirector #MusicEducation
