Sign up to be a 2003 Supporter/Sponsor
We
would like to thank the following for their ongoing sponsorship and support of
Kerrville Music Festivals
ELIXIR
GUITAR STRINGS FROM GORE has renewed their sponsorship for a fourth consecutive
year. The success for the innovative long-life strings has come from both Gore's
remarkable technological leadership and from the almost intuitive ability of
Elixir's field officers to make the right choices. Selecting to sponsor key
music festivals, associating with the Nashville Songwriters Association
International, the Bluebird Cafe and the North American Folk Alliance.
Incidentally, Elixir's national showcase at the 2000
Alliance featured 14 Kerrville artists out of a roster of 18! The strings'
PolyWeb Coating, a unique high technology polymer, provides protection of wound
strings from perspiration, dirt and body oils, and still provides great sound.
The net gain for Elixir players is to reduce string breakage to an almost
unbelievable low, allow fast action, less noise and, with reduced friction, more
comfort.
New artists that choose Elixir Strings are Richard
Thompson, Tom Paxton, Dar Williams, and Catie Curtis. Guitar makers whose
guitars now come with ELIXIR STRINGS from the factory include Taylor, Larivee,
Santa Cruz, Tacoma, Rainsong, Alvarez Yairi, Goodall, Tom Anderson and Brian
Moore.
W. L. GORE & ASSOCIATES, a decentralized research,
development and marketing company working out of Maryland, Arizona and other
locations developed Gore-Tex, Glide dental floss, and many other much needed and
innovative problem-solving products including the sensational ELIXIR GUITAR
STRINGS introduced to the world at Kerrville in 1997.
TEXAS
MONTHLY is back and we are excited! The Magazine was our first corporate
sponsor back in 1985-’86, ’87 and their partnership introduced our 15th
anniversary festival to an entirely new audience at a time when we were
struggling with the rain. In addition, they made the connection for us with
Southwest Airlines establishing a sponsorship relationship, which lasted nine
years. If you’ve seen the April edition of TEXAS MONTHLY, you have seen one of
the most appealing updates in their history…a new look and updated editorial
philosophy with expanded content in so many areas. Our full-page, four-color
advertisement is not only attractive but is already producing results. There
are many reasons that TEXAS MONTHLY has won 8 National Magazine Awards and
reaches more than 2 million readers every month. Among other things, TEXAS
MONTHLY has the best calendar of events and restaurants state-wide every month
in addition to its excellent in-depth features, reports and stories on so many
Texas happenings and personalities. Check them out on the web at
